[bisq-network/roles] Markets Website+API Operator/Maintainer (#9)

[wiz]

## Cycle 8 report

The Bisq Markets API has been migrated to a [new implementation](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq-markets/pull/20) utilizing a smart-caching proxy on Google Cloud Appengine and new API backend powered by risq. The new service is much faster for serving chart data on bisq.network/markets and is serving millions of requests daily to external third parties who have integrated the API into their sites.

This month the expenses are a bit higher due to one-off Google Cloud costs, i.e. as part of the migration before we optimized the site to lower costs. Going forward the site should run less than $300 per month hosting cost, which is a good deal considering the huge amount of traffic it gets. Ideally we will move away from Google at some point in the future, but we would need a very beefy CDN setup of some kind. The good thing is that the service is at 100% uptime now and very fast performance!
