title: Real Time API backend and frontend
body: <p>I'm starting a project to create a front end and back end API that updates in real time.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of making something like a Forex "viewer" of sorts using <a href="https://www.coinapi.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.coinapi.io</a> my only problem is, I want to make the server and everything and have it fetch data from that api, put it in my own DB, and have the frontend update in real time (i.e. a price drops, and it instantly updates without really a refresh).</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if something like this is practical. I think its a great idea and I'm super interested in this.</p>
  
  <p>I guess I would use websockets, but I don't know the first thing about that, my experience is with REST API's.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas/thoughts would be nice.</p>
  
  <p>The frameworks and resources ill be using are:</p>
  
  <p>Bootstrap</p>
  
  <p>Vue.Js</p>
  
  <p>Chart.Js</p>
  
  <p>Node.Js</p>
  
  <p>Express</p>
  
  <p>CoinAPI</p>
  
  <p>MongoDB</p>
  
  <p>Mongoose</p>
