// the problem

Trading protocol communications on a live EKS cluster were opaque — no way to inspect raw network traffic or debug exchange connectivity issues at the packet level.

// the solution

Deployed AWS Traffic Mirroring on EKS to clone live traffic to a capture node running Tcpdump. Python scripts automated capture rotation and upload to S3 for offline Wireshark analysis.

// outcomes

  • Deep packet inspection on live trading infrastructure
  • Fully self-planned and delivered
