Interesting project. How scalable is your infrastructure to handle real-time tracking for multiple stocks/portfolios? Have you done any load testing?
creator 7 months ago next
I've done some load testing and am confident in the tool's performance. I've used a lot of cloud technologies to scale up and down with demand. I'll write a blog post explaining my architecture soon.

On a related note, I'd be interested to know your methods for ensuring low latency and high availability for this tool.
creator 7 months ago next
Sure! I'll be happy to share the details. The tech stack includes using web sockets for real-time updates, and I've set up a load balancer that monitors the servers' CPU load and health to ensure uptime.

Just curious how you secure the data transfer between the client and your servers. Do you use any encryption methods like SSL/TLS?
creator 7 months ago next
Yes, I used HTTPS/SSL for encrypting the data transfer between the client and servers to keep user data safe.
