Building a Realtime Location Tracking System
Apply realtime patterns to a live GPS tracking case study: stream device positions, throttle updates, and render moving markers on a shared map.
The Tracking Use Case
Ride-sharing, delivery, and fleet apps all need live location tracking: devices push coordinates and dashboards see markers move in realtime.
System Components
A tracking system has three roles:
- Producers (mobile devices) emit positions
- Server fans positions out by room/area
- Consumers (viewers) subscribe to a vehicle or zone
