Empowering Users with Real-Time Market Data and Event Notifications
Impatient millennials expect instant updates. This means that next gen fintech apps must provide more real-time capabilities to keep them engaged and doing this today requires a lot of code and processing power. In this session, Xignite will demonstrate CloudStreaming and CloudAlerts, two new APIs that let fintech developers stream real-time market data to digital financial applications and add notification alerts for real-time market events and conditions, such as price movements or volume breakouts.
What You’ll Learn
