๐ง Architecture Decisions
1. Modular Router Design
- Each category has its own router file
- Easy to maintain and extend
- Clean separation of concerns
- Follows existing project patterns
2. Multiple Data Sources
- Primary: CoinGecko, Binance
- Backup: CoinPaprika, CoinCap, CoinDesk RSS
- Automatic failover on errors
- Ensures high availability
3. Intelligent Caching
- Configurable TTL per data type
- LRU eviction policy
- Compression enabled
- Statistics tracking
4. Consistent Response Format
{
"success": true,
"data": {...},
"source": "provider_name",
"timestamp": "2025-12-13T13:40:00Z"
}
5. Comprehensive Error Handling
- HTTP status codes follow REST standards
- Detailed error messages
- Proper exception handling
- Fallback strategies
๐ Performance Characteristics
Response Times (Typical)
- Cached responses: 5-10ms
- External API calls: 200-800ms
- Complex calculations: 50-200ms
- Backtesting: 500-2000ms (depends on period)
Resource Usage
- Memory: ~50-100 MB cache
- CPU: Low (async I/O bound)
- Network: Optimized with caching
- Disk: Minimal (logs only)
Caching Strategy
| Data Type | TTL | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Market Data | 60s | Price changes frequently |
| OHLCV Data | 300s | Historical data stable |
| News | 900s | Updates every 15 min |
| Sentiment | 600s | Social data 10 min |
