🚀 Built NexusStream — a real-time IoT analytics platform.
This project was my transition from building simple monolithic apps to designing event-driven, microservices-based systems.
🧠 What I focused on
Instead of just building features, I focused on:
Real-time data pipelines
Service-to-service communication
System scalability and tradeoffs
Time-series data handling
🏗️ System Highlights
Microservices architecture (Node.js + Python)
Redis Pub/Sub for real-time event streaming
WebSocket-based live data visualization
InfluxDB for high-frequency time-series storage
Magic Link (passwordless) authentication
Fully orchestrated using Docker Compose
📊 Performance Snapshot
~15,000 events/sec ingestion
~120ms end-to-end latency
<50ms anomaly detection window
500+ concurrent WebSocket clients (local testing)
🛠️ Tech Stack
React • Node.js • FastAPI • Redis • InfluxDB • PostgreSQL • Docker
🧠 Key Takeaway
This project helped me move from writing backend code → to designing systems where data flows, scales, and reacts in real time.
Open to feedback and collaboration on real-time systems, backend engineering, and data platforms. github repository: https://lnkd.in/dd5SVir4 (More details about the Nexus Stream is in the readme of github repo.)
