Latency Critical Systems
Built for anyone shipping realtime dashboards, market data feeds, streaming agents, or execution infrastructure where p95 latency and freshness actually matter. It walks you through splitting metrics properly (p50/p95/p99, throughput, queue depth, cache hit rate), mapping the hot path from source event to browser render, and optimizing in the right order: kill round trips, cache with freshness metadata, batch writes, move compute closer to data. The verification section is solid, especially the guardrails around not hiding stale data behind fast caches and not claiming millisecond behavior without measurement. It won't help you write trading algorithms, but it will help you measure and fix the infrastructure around them.

Latency Critical Systems
Use this skill when the user cares about realtime behavior, hot paths, streaming freshness, or execution speed. This includes HFT-like infrastructure, but the skill is engineering-focused. It does not authorize live trading or financial advice.
Split The Metrics
Do not collapse everything into "fast." Track:
- p50, p95, and p99 latency;
- throughput;
- freshness age;
- queue depth;
- cache hit rate;
- provider/API response time;
- browser render time;
- correctness under load;
- failure and retry behavior.
Map The Hot Path
Write the path from user/event to final visible state:
source event -> provider API -> ingest worker -> queue -> cache -> edge route
-> client stream -> browser render -> user-visible state
Then measure each segment separately.
