Fleshed Out Features for Request/Response Greek Service
Today I spent quite a bit of the day working on adding a lot of necessary features to my request/response greek engine that I've been working on for the last several weeks. The initial cut of the code had limited features - just to get it out there and working for the clients. Now it was time to really expand the feature set to make it a lot more useful for the clients. This included allowing multiple stock families in the subscription to the service, and properly implementing the filtering in the calculation messages. These features weren't critical to getting something going, but they are going to be critical to efficiently handling a lot of requests.
The other thing I did was to monitor the load on the box while I jacked up the slice of the universe on it in hopes of getting the number of boxes needed to cover the universe to as small a set as possible. I'm hoping to be able to get it all done in two boxes - but that's going to mean monitoring for a few days to make sure there's sufficient head room on the box during the open and close to not loose anything.
Nice and productive day. It's a lot less stress than the last few weeks have been.
