Matching engine and the core of the BitEx platform
The HTTP/WebSocket gateway is based on Tornado. It relays HTTP or websocket API requests to the trade engine in order to place orders or fetching market data.
The mailing application... sends mail. To that end, it uses Mailchimp's transaction email solution, Mandrill.
E-mail templates are stored under the templates/ dir, and which template to use (and the data to fill it out) are supplied by listening on the zeromq socket.
cd ./jsdev/tools
$ python extract_messages.py > /tmp/file_to_be_translated.xml
