TradElect was launched at the same time that BetFair, a big internet betting exchange, announced its own FlyWheel platform. FlyWheel took 2 years to develop internally (apparently with two different dev teams initially competing against each other) at a cost of around £1m. It runs on Oracle/JBoss/Linux/x86 on £25k worth of kit, and does up to 1m TPS (compare with TradElect's £40m to achieve a target of 68k TPS, which apparently it never achieved).
- imajes 17y agoI heard about this. It's a real shame that BetFair's system isn't being implemented for the LSE- i hear it far out strips any 'real world' use cases and can handle it all really well. Sounds pretty awesome to boot. :)
