Mastering Low-Latency Systems with Modern C++: Build high-performance trading and real-time applications from the ground up

Do you want to not just write C++ code, but master it — crafting clean, stable, and lightning-fast programs that stand strong in real production environments? This book shows you how to make the decisive leap from a capable developer to a true high-performance C++ engineer — practical, in-depth, and focused on what really matters: performance, stability, and professional software craftsmanship.

In today’s world, where milliseconds can determine success or failure, simply writing code that works is no longer enough. Here, you will learn to use C++ as it was meant to be used — efficiently, purposefully, and with a deep understanding of how software, compilers, and hardware interact. This book systematically trains you to think like a performance engineer, covering everything from memory optimization and multithreading to low-level analysis, benchmarking, and real-time systems.

What you’ll discover inside:
How to systematically fine-tune your programs for speed, stability, and scalability. How to interpret compiler outputs to make every line of code more efficient. How to leverage caches, data structures, and concurrency to extract maximum power from your hardware. How to automatically detect and resolve faults in production environments. And how to apply modern methods of performance analysis and optimization to gain full control over every byte.

Each chapter bridges theory and practice, with real-world examples explained clearly and without unnecessary jargon. You won’t just learn how to fix problems — you’ll learn how to prevent them before they occur.

This book is not a superficial introduction but a practical guide for those who truly want to excel — whether you work as an embedded developer, system architect, or software engineer. If you’ve ever felt that your code “works, but could be better,” this book gives you the answers you’ve been missing.

Your takeaway: After reading this book, you’ll see C++ in a completely new light. You’ll understand how your code truly runs and will be able to create applications that start faster, perform better, and remain stable — even under extreme conditions.

If your goal is to become the kind of developer whose code doesn’t just run but impresses, this book is your key. It’s the missing link between knowledge and mastery.
