CapitalSync was a trade copier that Erwan Prost built and ran for two years, from 2023 to 2025. For two years, it replicated trading positions between accounts on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader, in real time, with sub-second latency. Multi-tenant, billed monthly, 24/7 uptime, real money moving through it.
CapitalSync’s infrastructure included a custom Kubernetes operator written in Go that orchestrated Wine-emulated MetaTrader 4 and 5 instances. The hard part was the infrastructure. MetaTrader only runs on Windows, so to scale it Erwan wrapped each instance in Wine, packaged it in Docker, and orchestrated the pods with a custom Kubernetes operator written in Go. The operator handled lifecycle, health checks, resource limits, auto-recovery, and Prometheus metrics. A separate Go service called relay processed trading signals over NATS, with Redis caching and circuit breakers. The rest of the platform (auth, billing, admin, K8s infra) was Go too.
He shut CapitalSync down in December 2025. SocialAPI.ai is being built by the same person, with the same standards: Kubernetes-native, observability-first, infrastructure-grade Go.
