One man's baller is another man's insufficiently baller.

Email me for details, pricing & installations, or your target use case, would love to talk. In addition, if you have any feedback.

Your site has a bunch of marketing copy, trademark symbols, and a link to pay you $2k/mo, but zero technical detail and is broken on mobile. It gives vibe coded.

The benchmark of 2m black-scholes evals/sec is meaningless without additional context. Also seems a couple orders of magnitude slower than what I’d expect even for a single core. What exact transformations are being done, and what’s the throughput in GB/sec? Is it multi threaded? Benchmark against the equivalent query in kdb+ and ClickHouse?

    Not true as of last deployment.

    What additional technical detail would you be interested in?

    1) it's more than 2m/s on a MacBook AIR 2) Most of the latency is networking. This was a preliminary setup with a client / server over websockets where the book of 1m contracts combination of (strike, exp_date). Each insert only after a corresponding query has been returned (over the wire) from the previous insert. I can agree the eval isn't great; as in, the throughput is much higher.
