As @f3408fh has said, I am also curious to knowing more about it if possible. I had always thought that trading firms might be some of the sole exceptions of over-engineering as I had went into the rabbit-holes of FPGA's and found that some of the use-cases of that technology was trading firms using it to literally shave off even a few milliseconds and so the amount of optimization there So I am a bit curious how postgres/some dotnet services and SQS queues is able to create a trading firm and scale it and even sell it for 140M$. It feels like my understanding of the situation was a bit uncertain then but could you please elaborate more if possible?
