Story in depth

Communication channels were established to ensure effective collaboration and coordination between the development team and the client. Regular meetings, updates, and feedback sessions were conducted to facilitate financial software development and address any concerns that arose during the process.

Project Description

During the project, an analysis phase was conducted to create the system architecture and design which involved developing trading and financial operation algorithms on paper. Subsequently, the core system was implemented, including integration with crypto price market data sources and interactive brokers. The team also focused on enhancing functionality, specifically targeting user experience improvements for B2C users.

Digital Platform & Technology

C++

C++ offers low-level control and efficient memory management and is commonly utilised for system-level programming and performance-critical applications.

Go features a strong type system, garbage collection and built-in support for concurrent programming, making it well suited for developing scalable and efficient backend systems.

Node.js

Node.js allows developers to run JavaScript code outside the browser, making it ideal for server-side applications. Node.js provides an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, enabling the creation of highly scalable and efficient network applications.

React and TypeScript

React and TypeScript combine to develop robust and maintainable web applications with enhanced type safety and component-based architecture.

MongoDB

MongoDB offers a flexible schema, allowing for dynamic changes in data structure and supports distributed data storage, making it suitable for scalable and agile application development.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes provides a robust framework for managing containerised workloads, enabling efficient resource utilisation, high availability, and easy scaling across a cluster of machines.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL provides robust data integrity, ACID compliance and support for complex queries, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring structured data storage and management.

Communication Framework

To facilitate effective collaboration and information exchange throughout the financial software development, a robust communication framework was established between Computools' tech team and the client team. The teams maintained regular meetings, provided progress updates and ensured the existence of clear channels of communication.
The team utilised Slack to streamline communication, enabling team members to engage in real-time conversations, share project updates and collaborate on specific topics or channels. Slack facilitated quick decision making, reduced email clutter and fostered a more dynamic and interactive environment.
Additionally, Jira played a crucial role in structuring project tasks, assigning responsibilities and visualising project progress through customisable boards. It enabled the Computools and client teams to have a clear overview of the project status and maintain transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
