Implementation:
SpringBoot java application with crontab and set of REST services.
Crontab - periodically (twice a day, once a week, every 10 minutes) calls gather methods. Methods get data from different sources, process them and store in the local database.
REST API - services to share stored data between clients sites.
To increase response application uses Cache system to store frequently used requests.
Application works on AWS EC2 instance with MySQL RDS and Memcache cache system.
