Hi everyone, I’m planning to start developing a crypto arbitrage bot and want to choose the right stack.
• Which programming languages, frameworks, or libraries (e.g., Python, Node.js, CCXT, WebSocket APIs) are most practical for building a real-world arbitrage bot?
• What should I consider when connecting to multiple exchanges and handling API rate limits or latency issues?
• Are there cloud services or tools you recommend for deploying and monitoring a crypto trading bot securely?
Any real-world examples, personal experience, or lessons learned would be really useful!
Hi @jameswood32 That kind of system is really complex first of all, for the programming language choice there is no better option that python with CCXT as python may be slow but the library support is super rich for the projects like these, the best exchange you can consider in this project would be binance as they provide a lot of support initially and even in scale. When i have developed something similar which was using solidity on ethereum i have used AWS and it really works all the time, AWS might not be the cheapest but is the most reliable. I have developed a system like a payment processor and it was really fun making that i have deployed it on the chain also, somethings you should be keeping in mind is that when dealing with these kind of projects please do not rely on sample tokens for testing cause in production or even in scale they really do not work as expected and tested with sample tokens, and for a system like this you need a powerful server to compute things for you so keep that in mind when considering AWS plans. Now in what use case you are thinking to implement n8n as backend?
Hey personnaly i use mobula the fast data and quality i have from it is pretty good compare to other api i tried, technically i feel they outstanding for that
