b4j is incredibly powerful !

[tufanv]

Hi guys,

at this moment, I am impressed that b4j is powerful at creating some backend for my applications and websites. I am creating an API which provides crypto currency and financial data to my customers with b4j. in less than 24h , I have setup a webserver and with the help of simple jsongenerator I am providing the json data easily. The work is in still progress but I have 2 informational endpoints ready ( which provides the available pairs and coins only without detailed info ): I am using a simple loadbalancer which directs the requests to 2 different vps with "leastconnections" method..

Informative endpoints:
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/coinlist
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/pairlist

Live Price endpoint:
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/coinlive
Usage:
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/coinlive?coins=BTC+ETH+XRP+ZEN

Until this time, I had to work with PHP which I am not comfortable and apache webservers etc.. This is going to be really fun. I will post the details when I finish the project. I will also make some stress tests on the vps to find out the max number of concurrent connections available.

is this running on port 443 btw 80? Because you dont need a port number behind .com/

v1 is then the handler name right?

I will also make some stress tests on the vps to find out the max number of concurrent connections available.

and the result i would be interested then.

v1 is handler name yes. normally this is running on port 8080 but cloudflare makes a ssl redirect with their own service, it redirects to my loadbalancer and loadbalancer directs it to port 8080 on my vps.

I am having a problem with the pool being unresponsive. If I can fix thşis , I will share the results.

Live Crypto Price endpoint is added at:
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/coinlive
Usage:
https://api.freecryptoapi.com/v1/coinlive?coins=BTC+ETH+XRP+ZEN

Currently supports around 1200 crypto currency with live prices as USD,BTC & Daily Change values, source , coin name and updated time.

note: seems like the unresponsiveness problem is fixed

loadbalancer

do you host your own loadbalancer or from a service? I hear about it for the first time, but I like the technique.

I am hosting my own. It is quite easy with HaProxy. with a single cpu core and a ram, it can handle around 1500-2000 concurrent connections. Of course backend servers are more important.

Thank you!

per second?

yes, i plan on release with 2 VPS per VPS ~24GB RAM and a 3. as backup. But until then there is still much to learn ...

 

[tufanv]

yes per second. you can check this for details: https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/hapee/1-5r2/getting-started/os-hardware/

You can always contact me if you experience a problem. I am working with that for a long time, I have a good knowledge about loadbalancers.

Thank you!
