Part 4/12:
The system must also adapt to surges in traffic, process data slices for different candle granularities, and deliver real-time alerts without delays.
Architectural Strategies for High-Performance Data Streaming
Microservices and Decoupled Components
Rather than building a monolithic architecture, the team adopted a microservices approach, deploying independent services for specific functions such as data ingestion, chart building, alerting, and pattern detection. This decoupling ensures:
Fault isolation: If one service encounters issues, others remain unaffected.
Scalability: Services can scale independently based on load.
Ease of deployment: Independent updates without system-wide downtime.
