Extreme Programming Meets Realtime Data
At Unruly, we're fast and furious both in terms of the volumes we're handling and in our development process. Scaling incrementally has raised some interesting challenges in how to deal with growing data volumes, and by trying to deliver value in small steps, we've ended up with some unconventional solutions. We'll talk about scaling problems we've encountered, and where extreme programming values led us.

The Move to AI: From HFT to Laplace Demon
The race for low latency data continues. 10 years ago, Flashboys were helping HFT make money with low-latency infrastructures. Today, hedge funds build AI brains pumping hundreds of sources of data in real-time, seeking ubiquity to build Laplace Demons.
