CiberCuba has launched a revolutionary tool that allows users to explore the evolution of the exchange rate in Cuba, with real-time updates and a detailed history since 2021.
This project, based on data provided by the elTOQUE API, is designed to be accessible, reliable, and technically robust. It serves as an essential reference for those who want to better understand the economic dynamics of the island.
Technology at the service of information
The development of this tool combines an advanced technological approach with environmentally responsible implementation. The entire backend and frontend are deployed on Cloudflare, using Workers for processing and Pages for presenting the interface.
Highlighted technical advantages:
- Scalability and performance: Cloudflare efficiently manages large volumes of traffic thanks to its globally distributed infrastructure, ensuring fast loading times for users in any location.
- Environmental sustainability: With a focus on energy efficiency, Cloudflare operates with optimized servers that reduce environmental impact. The project is run at virtually no cost, taking advantage of the serverless model that eliminates the need to maintain physical servers.
- Continuous deployment and security:
- The integration of the tool in Cloudflare ensures that data is protected against common security threats.
- Code updates are deployed automatically, allowing for continuous improvement without service interruptions.
Applications and scope
The tool is designed for both regular users and professionals. For example, analysts and economists can use it to generate relevant content, analyze trends, and present their findings to a broader audience.
Roadmap: What's Next
CiberCuba does not stop here. In line with our commitment to providing a constantly evolving product, we present the features that will soon enhance the experience of this tool:
Evolution of the exchange rate
- Graphs with news events: We will include a news plot that impacted the exchange rate, selected by our editors. This will allow visualization in the graph of key events since 2021 that directly influenced economic fluctuations.
- Future predictions: We will introduce a feature to show predictions of exchange rates, including estimates for the start and end of the day. This will help users anticipate movements and make informed decisions.
- Automatic notifications:
- We will implement push notifications, email alerts, and social media updates to notify about significant changes in rates, such as sharp rises or falls.
- These alerts will be configurable according to user preferences, providing a personalized experience.
- Mobile application: In the near future, we will develop a native app for Android and iOS, allowing users to take the tool with them at all times.
A step forward in economic transparency
This project reinforces CiberCuba's commitment to informational transparency and technological innovation. The tool, with its interactive design, reliable data, and constantly evolving functionalities, positions itself as an essential resource for both those looking to make economic decisions and those seeking to understand the context of the Cuban economy.
You can explore exchange rates directly in the CiberCuba tool by visiting the official site from the web, on the homepage, on the Exchange Rate page, and in every news article about currency exchange in Cuba.
