Automated Crypto Trading Platform

A production software platform supporting automated trading-related workflows, backend services and administrative visibility.

Software platform for automated trading workflows

Production platform · Backend← All projects

Context

The problem it addresses

Automated trading involves software that runs continuously and needs to be observable by the people responsible for it.

This platform supports trading-related workflows through backend services, dashboards and authenticated access.

Purpose
Provide backend services and administrative visibility around automated trading workflows.

My role

What I worked on

  • Backend APIs
  • Trading-related workflows
  • Dashboards
  • Authentication
  • Database functionality
  • Debugging
  • Production deployment

This case study covers the software platform around trading workflows. It does not describe trading strategies, and system internals are intentionally omitted.

Engineering focus

Where the engineering sits

APIs
Backend endpoints supporting the platform’s workflows.
Debugging
Investigating issues in a running production system.
Deployment
Getting and keeping the platform running in production.
Visibility
Dashboards that let administrators see what the system is doing.

Perspective

Engineering perspective

  • Systems that run unattended need clear visibility. A dashboard is part of the system, not an extra.
  • Production debugging rewards understanding the whole path, from request to database to server.
