Introduction

The DeFi-Data-Engine is a microservice Java application designed to support the IDEA Risky Business lab, with the primary objective of simplifying the retrieval, storage, and distribution of data across the various data vendors used within the lab. The application is developed entirely in Java to support its running and execution regardless of the OS used. It features data standardization, multi-user handling capabilities, and auto storage and management of new data. Architecturally, the engine is split into two microservice based components: the primary engine application and a REST API used for client interactions.

Current Features

Currently the engine supports a number of features, with many more planned to be improved and added upon in the Spring of 2023. These features include but are not limited to:

  • Integrated external source data calls (Amber Data)
  • Historical database management
  • Stream key management
  • Automatic data request handling
  • Multi-user handling
