📖 Project Overview

This is the Backend component of a distributed Stock Market Simulator. The system is designed to handle asynchronous stock trading, payment integrations, and real-time market updates through a robust cloud infrastructure.

Key Features

• Event-Driven Architecture: Real-time processing via MQTT protocols for multiple channels (stocks/info, requests, validation, auctions, updates).
• Asynchronous Processing: Integration with Celery workers for heavy-lifting tasks and market estimations.
• Payment Integration: Secure payment flows using WebPay.
• Serverless Components: Utilization of AWS Lambda functions for specific triggers.
