fafnir

part 1 ?

This project fafnir is a distributed and scalable microservice backend for trading platforms (will be simulated). I'm mainly coding everything in Go, but might use Python, Java, or C++ down the line depending on the service.

It's meant for my portfolio and to understand modern microservices, system design patterns, and best coding practices in building a scalable distributed application. It is not fully implemented yet, but I have been able to deploy on docker, connect multiple containers and services together, and utilize a bunch of technologies such as Redis, gRPC, GraphQL, Prometheus, and Grafana to name a few.

Here is a rough sketch of what I have right now of the system architecture:

Here is the related issue on GitHub: Implement NATS + auth validation logic #4

Going through, I have many more features to be implemented (check TODO on README), and hopefully learn something new

part 2 (soon?)
