Galactic Signals

A Discord-first monitoring platform delivering AI-powered, cross-asset alerts into communities.

Overview

Cross-asset monitoring is fragmented: stocks, crypto, sports betting, trading cards, real estate, macro, and news rarely live in one place, delivered where a community already is. Galactic unifies that monitoring with multi-channel delivery and a creator-driven marketplace. The smartest call was killing the Discord bot for pure webhooks: a user activates the data they want behind Stripe, pastes a webhook URL, and starts receiving branded embed alerts in about thirty seconds.

What it involved

  • A fleet of around 79 async Python workers, one per feed, each with market-hours gating, a per-worker circuit breaker, and heartbeats.
  • A delivery engine that renders branded embeds and fans them out behind a token-bucket rate limiter tuned to Discord's limits.
  • Next.js 16 web app with Stripe billing, a category store, NextAuth, and an admin surface.
  • Self-hosted via Docker Compose behind nginx, with GitHub Actions auto-deploying on push to main.
