Finding nearby parking space using Event Stream Processing
March 11, 2019
Finding public parking spaces in Melbourne CBD sometimes get harder. I always wanted to build an app that helps me find a parking space easily. Then I realised its an interesting real-time data processing use case.
Data Stream A: Melbourne city council exposes parking lot updates through a REST API. The data is updated every 2 mins.
Data Stream B: The driver’s current GPS location(Latitude, Longtitude) in real-time. Basically my car will be streaming LAT, LON as I keep moving.
