Performance Engineering in Allegro

Driving Scalability and Speed Across Trading Systems

Performance Engineering in Allegro

Ensure Consistent Delivery of High-Value Applications and Services

Allegro is a mission-critical risk management platform where performance is central to success. In today’s dynamic trading environment, organizations demand faster processing, scalable architecture, and seamless user experiences to stay ahead. Performance engineering enables Allegro to deliver speed, scalability, and operational excellence, ensuring trading teams operate efficiently and make timely, informed decisions across the Deal-to-Cash lifecycle.

Roadblocks Impacting Allegro Performance

Even with robust implementations, Allegro can face challenges that disrupt workflows, slow operations, and increase risk:

Database Performance

Growing volumes of data in tables like valuationdetail, gridlog, dbaudit, and creditexposure cause delays in EOD valuations and slow system response times.

Extended Valuation Processes

Inefficient valuation configurations and custom ClassEvents create unnecessary database hits and dependencies that lengthen processing cycles and affect stability.

Integration Inefficiencies

Poorly engineered integrations with market, risk, and finance systems lead to downstream delays and reduced operational consistency.

Suboptimal Grid Scheduling

Overlapping jobs during MTM, EOD, and settlement processing increases server load, slowing down throughput and reducing operational performance.

UI Performance Challenges

Inefficient visual models, excessive data loads, and unoptimized queries lead to sluggish navigation and slow search results, reducing productivity and user adoption.

Accelerate Maturity with Allegro Performance Optimization Framework

The framework offers a structured path to build a proactive performance culture. By adopting this framework, organizations reduce operational risks, unlock efficiency, and achieve sustainable scalability.

Driving 3X efficiency in Allegro BOL Integration with Performance Engineering

Case Study

Ensuring 99.9% Operational Stability

Value Creed engineered a performance-driven solution for a mission-critical Allegro BOL integration system. Processing time for ~300 daily shipments dropped from 150 minutes to just 8 minutes. Achieved 99.9% reliability while freeing up 40% grid capacity for other critical processes. Enhanced scalability to handle 3X shipment volumes with zero performance degradation. This transformation restored business agility, enabling timely risk reporting, valuations, and real-time inventory visibility.

Implementation Approach That Drives Value

A phased, structured approach ensures every engagement delivers measurable business impact while building a foundation for long-term scalability and performance.

System Performance Review

A comprehensive system audit identifies database inefficiencies, baselines valuation runtimes, and evaluates grid and UI performance. Quick wins through targeted query optimization and historical data archiving deliver immediate improvements in system responsiveness and provide a clear roadmap for further enhancements.

Stabilization & Process Optimization

Valuation configurations are redesigned to eliminate redundancies, custom ClassEvents are refactored for faster execution, and grid job scheduling is rationalized to prevent contention during peak processing. This phase stabilizes performance, ensures consistent processing times, and minimizes operational risk during high-volume cycles.

Integrated Performance Engineering

Integration workflows are optimized with middleware and lightweight payloads, grid jobs are balanced across servers for improved throughput, and UI performance is enhanced with query tuning, caching, and intelligent data filtering. Decoupled process architecture ensures independent execution of tasks, reducing delays and enabling more efficient, scalable operations.

Proactive & Predictive Optimization

Real-time dashboards, automated alerts, and anomaly detection are implemented to provide complete visibility into system performance. Predictive models help anticipate bottlenecks, while automated regression checks ensure changes do not reintroduce issues. This phase builds a continuous improvement culture, turning performance into a strategic advantage for trading agility and operational resilience.

Benefits of Value Creed’s Implementation Approach

Accelerated
Deal-to-Cash Cycles

Optimizations across valuations, grid jobs, and integrations shorten processing times from hours to minutes, enabling faster decisions and quicker settlement cycles.

Predictable, High-Performance Operations

A structured performance framework eliminates unpredictable bottlenecks, ensuring stable EOD runs, timely risk reporting, and uninterrupted operations during peak trading periods.

Deep Allegro Expertise with a Business Lens

A unique combination of technical mastery and market knowledge ensures every change delivers tangible business value, from improving trade capture speed to enhancing operational reliability.

Future-Ready
Scalability

Architectures and processes are designed to seamlessly handle 2–3x growth in trading volumes, integration complexity, and evolving regulatory requirements without performance degradation.

Proactive Risk
Mitigation

Predictive analytics and automated monitoring detect performance anomalies early, reducing downtime risks and protecting critical business deliverables.

Optimized Resource Utilization

Intelligent tuning of databases, grid schedules, and infrastructure unlocks significant capacity, reducing system strain and enabling better use of existing technology investments.

Establish Scalable Foundation to Enable Long-Term Growth

Optimizing Allegro performance requires a balance of deep technical expertise and strategic insight. From code-level tuning and architectural refinement to predictive monitoring and automated alerts, the focus remains on enabling trading organizations to operate with confidence, agility, and precision. By enhancing speed, scalability, and system reliability, Allegro becomes a platform that not only supports business demands but also drives operational excellence across the enterprise.
