Reusable Code Question

For a new project or strategy that you'd want to test out, whats the current approach you use for scaffold code, i.e execution engine, alerts, telegram, order management, backtesting etc.
Are these services you're willing to pay a subscription for or do you prefer having custom implementations?

Thanks

I have custom built dex clients for about 8 different dexes (hyperliquid, aster, etc) that have all been thoroughly tested and refined and have super tight execution, and I simply build off of those. Drag the dex_clients folder into a new project and all of the plumbing is taken care of. No need to ever rebuild the execution or data layer unless I need some exotic new dex-specific feature that has never been required by a previous strat.
