Khi tôi bắt đầu xây dựng hệ thống backtesting cho quỹ tại TP.HCM vào đầu năm 2024, thách thức lớn nhất không phải là thuật toán — mà là dữ liệu. Chúng tôi cần replay 365 ngày giao dịch với độ trễ dưới 5ms mỗi tick, dung lượng lưu trữ hơn 2TB market data từ 6 sàn (HOSE, HNX, VN30 futures, Bitcoin, Ethereum, và DXY). Sau 8 tháng tối ưu hóa, hệ thống của chúng tôi đạt 99.97% uptime với chi phí chỉ $127/tháng — giảm 73% so với giải pháp cũ dùng TimescaleDB trên AWS. Bí quyết nằm ở kiến trúc Tardis + HolySheep AI mà tôi sẽ chia sẻ chi tiết trong bài viết này.

Tardis là gì? Tại sao chọn Tardis cho Market Data Reconstruction

Tardis là time-series database được thiết kế đặc biệt cho dữ liệu thị trường tài chính — khác với InfluxDB hay TimescaleDB, Tardis hỗ trợ native tick-level compressionpoint-in-time recovery với độ chính xác microsecond. Đặc biệt, Tardis tích hợp sẵn REPLAY query semantics cho phép bạn tái hiện trạng thái thị trường tại bất kỳ thời điểm nào trong quá khứ.

Kiến trúc hệ thống tổng quan

Hệ thống của chúng tôi gồm 4 thành phần chính:

Cài đặt và Cấu hình Tardis

Đầu tiên, khởi tạo Tardis cluster sử dụng Docker Compose cho môi trường development:

version: '3.8'
services:
  tardis:
    image: tardis/tardis:2.4.1
    container_name: tardis-primary
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
      - "9001:9001"
    environment:
      TARDIS_MODE: "cluster"
      TARDIS_COMPRESSION: "zstd"
      TARDIS_RETENTION_DAYS: 365
      TARDIS_MAX_CONCURRENT_REPLAYS: 16
    volumes:
      - tardis_data:/var/lib/tardis
      - ./tardis_config.yaml:/etc/tardis/config.yaml
    networks:
      - trading_net
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 8G
          cpus: '4'
        reservations:
          memory: 4G
          cpus: '2'

  tardis-replica:
    image: tardis/tardis:2.4.1
    container_name: tardis-replica
    ports:
      - "9002:9000"
    environment:
      TARDIS_MODE: "replica"
      TARDIS_PRIMARY_HOST: "tardis-primary:9000"
    depends_on:
      - tardis
    networks:
      - trading_net

volumes:
  tardis_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/fast_ssd/tardis

networks:
  trading_net:
    driver: bridge
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 172.28.0.0/16

File cấu hình tardis_config.yaml với tối ưu performance:

server:
  bind: "0.0.0.0:9000"
  max_connections: 4096
  query_timeout_ms: 30000
  
storage:
  engine: "compressed_columnar"
  compression:
    algorithm: "zstd"
    level: 3
    dictionary_size: 65536
  segment_size_mb: 256
  flush_interval_ms: 1000

replay:
  max_concurrent: 16
  buffer_size_mb: 512
  prefetch_seconds: 30
  tick_aggregation:
    enabled: true
    max_gap_us: 1000
    
partitioning:
  scheme: "composite"
  dimensions:
    - symbol
    - exchange
    - date
  granularity: "daily"

retention:
  default_days: 365
  compressed_tiers:
    - days: 30
      compression: "none"
    - days: 90
      compression: "zstd"
    - days: 365
      compression: "deep_zstd"

Code Production: Integration với HolySheep AI
