This looks awesome! Congrats on the launch. For a financial product like this, what does your tech stack look like? Do you use off the shelf databases to store account balances for example, or is there specialized tech for that? or does the brokerage handle that?

How do you approach security? I’m guessing a lot of work went into it, but some details would be great for a curious customer like me :)

Hey, thanks for taking a look! Great questions, we take security and data seriously. All communication is encrypted end to end (of course), but we also ensure data at rest is encrypted, using KMS & RDS.

Brokerages handle your account based information, but we generate additional data around your investments to help give you a richer picture into your portfolio performance.

One particularly fun part of our data structures is the indexes themselves, which are all nest-able and fully versioned, creating a rich graph of historical performance data. Looking forward to exposing more features around this in the future.

Our tech stack is react, nextjs, swr, python, aiohttp, redis, postgres (& timescaledb), k8s, terraform, aws.
