Crypto Convert

Overview

Crypto Convert is a Python-based project designed to facilitate cryptocurrency conversions. The application provides a robust backend for managing conversion operations, caching, integrations with external services, and task automation.

Technologies

The project leverages the following technologies and frameworks:

• Python 3.12: Core programming language.
• Django: Web framework for backend development.
• Celery: Task queue for asynchronous job processing.
• PostgreSQL: Modern database for development and testing.
• Docker: Containerization for consistent development and deployment environments.
• Pytest: Testing framework for unit and integration tests.

Features

• Cryptocurrency conversion logic with support for multiple coins.
• Caching mechanisms to optimize performance.
• Integration with external services for real-time data (e.g., Bybit).
• Automated tasks for updating conversion statuses and coin data.
• Comprehensive test suite for ensuring code quality.

Integrations

The project integrates with the following external services:

• Bybit: Fetches real-time cryptocurrency data and handles conversion-related operations.

Directory Structure

• crypto_convert/: Core application logic, including settings, URLs, and signals.
• api/: API endpoints for cryptocurrency conversion.
• cache/: Caching logic and models.
• integrations/: External service integrations (e.g., Bybit).
• models/: Database models for configuration and conversion.
• services/: Business logic for fees and other operations.
• tasks/: Celery tasks for background processing.
• tests/: Unit and integration tests.
• utils/: Utility functions and mixins.
