Backtesting in the Cloud: A Scalable Market Data Optimization Model for AWS

A Tick Data Custom Data Solutions Group Case Study

In 2013 Tick Data, Inc. left a traditional data center in favor of Amazon’s AWS cloud
environment. The daily tasks performed there include the daily receipt and processing of very large quantities of financial market data as well as distributing that data to clients around the world.

The company has gained considerable expertise in the process, particularly in the area of connecting hosted market data to analytics and scaling processing power on an as-needed basis for data processing and analytics. From that expertise grew Tick Data’s Custom Data Solutions Group.
