Monitoring Polymarket transactions on a 2GB VPS, choosing 60-second polling instead of WebSocket real-time push. Polling is more friendly to the Polymarket API (won't be rate-limited), and a 5-minute delay is sufficient for decision-making scenarios — prediction markets are not high-frequency trading, and price movements occur on an hourly basis. True "real-time" requires WebSocket connection to Polymarket's CLOB feed, but that is a completely different architecture and too heavy for a 2GB VPS. Being sufficient is the optimal solution.
