Roadtracing

Roadtracing is a project that stores coordinates to track and identify dangerous accelerations.

Composition

The project is composed of a mobile app, a queue and a database.

The mobile-app sends data to the queue via websockets.

In case the database is down, Apache Kafka allow us to buffer the data until the database is up and running again.

For this to work we need a producer and a consumer.

The producer receives data via websocket and sends it to kafka.

The consumer consumes data from kafka and inserts it into a databse.

Mongodb, an easy to use database.

The provided docker-compose file is a basic configuration of roadtracing. We can configure kafka to have more partitions and brokers.
