Presentation: Latency: The Race to Zero...Are We There Yet?
Our take
In his presentation, "Latency: The Race to Zero...Are We There Yet?", Amir Langer explores the remarkable evolution of latency reduction, tracing its journey from the Pony Express to today’s advanced hardware solutions. He delves into the concept of separation of concerns, highlighting how decoupling business logic from I/O can enhance performance. By discussing tools like Aeron and the Disruptor, Langer reveals how they enable single-digit microsecond speeds.


Amir Langer discusses the evolution of latency reduction, from the Pony Express to modern hardware. He explains how separation of concerns - decoupling business logic from I/O - and tools like Aeron and the Disruptor achieve single-digit microsecond speeds. He shares insights into replicated state machines, consensus protocols like Raft, and the future of low-latency sequencer architectures.
