In our previous post Backtesting index rebalancing arbitrage with Amazon EMR and Apache Iceberg, we showed how to use Apache Iceberg in the context of strategy backtesting. In this post, we focus on data management implementation options such as accessing data directly in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), using popular data formats like Parquet, or using open table formats like Iceberg. Our experiments are based on real-world historical full order book data, provided by our partner CryptoStruct, and compare the trade-offs between these choices, focusing on performance, cost, and quant developer productivity.

Organizations use their data to solve complex problems by starting small, running iterative experiments, and refining the solution. Although the power of experiments can’t be ignored, organizations have to be cautious about the cost-effectiveness of such experiments. If time is spent creating the underlying infrastructure for enabling experiments, it further adds to the cost. Developers […]

Many AWS customers use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) in order to take advantage of Kubernetes without the burden of managing the Kubernetes control plane. With Kubernetes, you can centrally manage your workloads and offer administrators a multi-tenant environment where they can create, update, scale, and secure workloads using a single API.
