A developer worked on a financial market data microservice project with various technologies like FastAPI, Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, and Cursor AI.
The project involved purpose-driven AI orchestration with clear goals, adherence to project rules, and rigorous validation of AI-generated fixes.
The architecture included components like FastAPI with dependency injection, PostgreSQL via SQLAlchemy ORM, Redis caching, Kafka, Docker Compose, Prometheus metrics integration, Grafana dashboard, structured logging, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
The developer learned to handle Redis connection failures, manage Kafka consumer groups effectively, implement async await patterns, and build robust error handling for external API dependencies.
