Architecture
- Django - backend + frontend
- Django rest framework - backend API
- Postgres - persistent data store
- Redis - API response cache
- Celery - runs a background job every minute to refresh the cache
Future Work
- Add pagination for transactions page
- Add button to frontend that allows users to manually refresh balance and transaction information
- Re-write frontend so it only interacts with backend via API requests
- Could scale out the number of backend containers that service the client side frontend
- Modify containers so they are more suited to a cluster environment
