Client Overview
Lumiwealth provides algorithmic trading bots that execute stock and crypto trades automatically for their users. As their customer base grew rapidly, their legacy infrastructure became a critical bottleneck, users couldn't see what their bots were doing in real-time, and the technical team was drowning in infrastructure maintenance instead of building new features.
The Challenge: Growth Outpacing Infrastructure
Lumiwealth faced a classic scaling problem that was costing them time, money, and customer satisfaction:
- No real-time visibility: Users couldn't monitor their trading bots' performance during active trading hours, leading to anxiety and support tickets
- Infrastructure bottleneck: Existing system couldn't handle growing user and bot volume without performance degradation
- Security concerns: Trading bots needed secure authentication and communication channels
- Team bandwidth crisis: Engineers spent excessive time maintaining infrastructure instead of building revenue-generating features
- Cost inefficiency: Traditional infrastructure meant paying for capacity they didn't always need
The technical team's time was consumed by "keeping the lights on" rather than innovation and growth.
The Solution: Serverless Architecture for Zero-Maintenance Scaling
AI Point implemented a serverless AWS architecture that eliminated infrastructure management entirely, allowing Lumiwealth's team to focus on their core business.
Key components:
- Automated API key management: Secure, self-service authentication for trading bots
- Real-time data pipeline: Instant portfolio status updates as bots execute trades
- Scalable database: Handles concurrent bot updates and user queries without performance impact
- Zero infrastructure maintenance: Serverless architecture automatically scales up and down with demand
The system scales automatically, whether Lumiwealth has 100 users or 100,000, the infrastructure adapts without any manual intervention.
The Results: Time Back + Cost Savings + Better Product
Engineering Time Reclaimed
- Eliminated infrastructure maintenance burden: No servers to manage, patch, or monitor
- Zero scaling work: System automatically handles traffic spikes during market hours
- Reduced support tickets: Real-time visibility decreased "what's happening with my bot?" inquiries
Engineers now spend time on product features that drive revenue, not infrastructure firefighting.
Cost Optimization
- Pay only for actual usage: Serverless model eliminates paying for idle capacity
- No over-provisioning required: System scales precisely to demand
- Reduced operational overhead: Fewer resources spent on infrastructure management
Enhanced User Experience
- Real-time bot monitoring: Users see exactly what their bots are doing during trading hours
- Improved trust and confidence: Transparency into bot performance reduces user anxiety
- Better engagement: Users stay active on the platform longer with real-time insights
Business Scalability Unlocked
- Infrastructure no longer limits growth: Can onboard new users without capacity concerns
- Faster time-to-market: Team focuses on features, not infrastructure
- Foundation for expansion: Scalable architecture supports future product development
Investment Impact
By solving the infrastructure problem once with serverless architecture, Lumiwealth achieved:
- Recurring time savings: Engineering team permanently freed from infrastructure management
- Variable cost model: Infrastructure costs scale with revenue, not fixed overhead
- Competitive advantage: Real-time monitoring capability differentiates their product
- Growth enabler: Technical foundation supports 10x user growth without proportional technical investment
The Partnership Value
This is Lumiwealth's third major project with AI Point, demonstrating ongoing trust and value delivery:
- Market Analysis AI Agents: Now sold as a standalone product generating new revenue
- Core Data Infrastructure: Powers their entire platform ("literally the whole reason why our website works")
- Trading Bot Monitoring: Eliminated scaling bottleneck and freed engineering time
Each project has delivered measurable time savings, cost efficiency, or new revenue streams.
Beyond Trading Platforms
While built for algorithmic trading, this serverless approach applies to any business facing infrastructure scaling challenges:
- SaaS platforms: Applications with variable usage patterns
- IoT monitoring: Real-time device status and data collection
- Event-driven systems: Processing user actions, notifications, webhooks
- API-heavy applications: Secure, scalable API management without server maintenance
The Bottom Line
Modern serverless architecture gives you three things simultaneously:
- Time back for your technical team to focus on revenue-generating work
- Cost efficiency through usage-based pricing instead of fixed infrastructure
- Unlimited scalability without the headache of capacity planning
