NewbieTrade – AI Stock Analysis & Trading Signals Platform
Transformed unstable platform into reliable system with 99.9% uptime, API response time reduced from minutes to seconds, and cron jobs now completing on schedule with full error monitoring.
The Challenge
Inherited an unstable AI trading platform with critical performance issues — APIs timing out, cron jobs taking 20+ hours instead of 1-2 hours, and unstable database resources affecting user experience.
Our Solution
Conducted complete system architecture review and phased improvements — optimized server design, migrated to AWS RDS for database stability, enhanced API design for large data handling, and implemented error-alerting cron jobs.
