Betx

01

Challenge

A commission to move a gambling-sector workflow into a backend tool operated from the terminal. The client needed to record bets, odds, statuses and results in a structured way without depending on a web interface or complex storage. Local use, configuration outside code, lightweight persistence and clear separation between terminal, data and HTTP integrations.

02

Solution

Use Picocli for the workflow, YAML for configuration and SQLite for simple operation, with explicit adapter boundaries.

03

Work delivered

A working CLI, declarative configuration, local persistence, HTTP clients and tests around the primary flow.

04

Outcome

The client received a lightweight tool for running the main workflow from the terminal, with local data and configuration kept outside the code.

Project highlights

• Designed a Picocli command-line interface to run the main workflow from the terminal without depending on a web UI.
• Used betx.yml as the local configuration point for keeping credentials, endpoints and runtime settings outside the code.
• Separated SQLite persistence, CLI commands and HTTP integrations so the backend stays easier to test and evolve.
