What the platform delivers

A production-grade real-time pipeline that turns raw data streams into convergent decisions — from stream ingest to validated action.

  • 📡 Stream ingest — WebSocket capture from three primary and two enrichment data sources, normalized, validated, persisted.
  • 🧠 Predictive intelligence — XGBoost models with ONNX inference classify regimes across three dimensions: direction, volatility, quality. No speculative point forecasts.
  • ⚡ Event-driven — PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY with durable events. At-least-once guarantees, cursor-tracked replay after reconnects.
  • 👥 Multi-tenant — Per-tenant keys, limits, kill-switch, risk profiles. Stored procedures + row-level security as the hard boundary.
  • 🛡️ Production-ready — Circuit breaker per data source, health monitoring per component, feature validator with DATAMISSING auto-recovery, email/XMPP alerting.
  • 🔄 Self-optimizing — Optuna-based hyperparameter tuning with walk-forward holdout, champion/challenger waves, outcome feedback loop, and quality gates.

Architecture principles

Battle-tested choices that guarantee scaling, maintainability, and auditability.

  • 🔁 Async-first — All I/O operations are asynchronous. 51 % of all functions are async def. Thousands of parallel streams without thread overhead.
  • 📐 Config-driven — Data source mappings, fallback chains, unit conversions, and thresholds live entirely in JSON. No hardcoded magic numbers.
  • ✅ Data quality first — Single source of truth for every metric. Validators before persistence, validators before model training, health monitoring at runtime.
  • 🚀 Vectorized — NumPy bulk operations for training and replay simulation. No Python loops on the data hot path.
  • 🧪 Simulator parity — Live path and simulator share the same code for every critical decision. Replay results mirror production.
  • 📊 Observability — 21 live dashboards, structured logging across console, file, and database. Heartbeats, latencies, drift detection.
