-# Introduction
-
-## IMC & Global Execution team
-
-* Market making firm
-* Multiple offices
-* Over 20 exchanges
-
-## Subject of the internship
-
-> The project is about benchmarking a new service we're building related to
-> exchange connectivity. It would involve writing a program to generate load on
-> the new service, preparing a test environment and analyzing the performance
-> results. Time permitting might also involve making performance improvements to
-> the services.
-
-## Motivation
-
-* Early feedback during development
-* Track regressions
-* Various scenarios
-
-## Additional work
-
-* Compatibility testing
-  * Test both client and gateway processes
-  * Test forward and backward compatibility
-  * Similar to benchmark in its architecture
-
-# Work accomplished
-
-## Parameters of a run
-
-* Lab setup to mirror production
-* Multiple scenarios
-* Multiple exchanges and gateways
-
-## Workflow
-
-* Scenarios are exchange-agnostic
-* Running a benchmark locally and remotely in a transparent manner
-* Single command to run
-

-
-## Compatibility testing
-
-* Existing tests only test single version of client and server in lock step
-* Forward and backward compatibility
-* Multi-process testing
-
-# Benefits of the internship
-
-## To the company
-
-* Framework to use for benchmarking gateways
-  * Nicely integrated in IMC's build system
-  * Easy to use for new exchanges
-  * Easy to extend with new scenarios
-* Ground work on compatibility testing
-  * Peace of mind
-  * Ensure upgrades/downgrades happen smoothly
-  * Reduce downtimes due to failures
-
-## To me
-
-* Part of a good team & company
-* Learn about finance sector
-* Deal with new problems I had not encountered before
-
-# Conclusion
-
-## Challenges of the internship
-
-* Integration among pre-existing code
-* Working conditions due to COVID
-* Debugging asynchronous, multi-process systems
-
-## Further work
-
-* Integrate with in-house change-point detection
-* Integrate with packet sniffing setup
-* More exchanges & scenarios
