Finance and Investment
Capital markets and investment apps built around real-time data.
In finance applications the difficulty is not the interface but the speed and accuracy of data. A delayed price feed, a late alert or a badly rounded number ends user trust in one go. We have built IPO trackers, a market social network and news applications in this space; each time the critical part was the reliability of the data source and the scaling of notification infrastructure.
Problems we meet here04
- 01Data arrives late
- A lagging market feed devalues the whole product. Caching and streaming architecture has to be designed in from the start.
- 02Notifications do not scale
- A price alert going to tens of thousands of users at once will not ride on an ordinary notification service.
- 03The content team depends on developers
- Having to ship a release to publish news or an announcement is the real brake on speed.
- 04Store rules are strict
- Finance-category apps face extra scrutiny in App Store and Google Play review; the process takes experience.
What we typically build06
- Real-time price and data feeds
- Price alerts and bulk notification infrastructure
