Much appreciated indeed. Though I’m unconvinced by that particular piece on Medium. There’s no mention of their purported trading workloads, reads rather like a pile of SEO keywords spiced up by a couple charts and appears more like an attempted product placement for Azul Zing instead of HotSpot Zulu or other distributions. The author doesn’t seem to associate with finance either. I know Disruptor fairly well, it’s been underwhelming.
