Developing a Westy Tracking platform on Cloud Foundry
summary
A real-time Westy tracking platform that actually runs: TCP GPS trackers (about $20 GPS tracker) connect to a Vert.x receiver that parses a low-level, reverse-engineered binary protocol, publishes JSON on an event bus, and persists updates into Redis using sorted sets with timestamp scores so queries like “last location” or “last hour” are instant. A separate HTTP app serves an AngularJS frontend (Vert.x, Redis, AngularJS) via an event-bus bridge; deployed on Cloud Foundry with a TCP route and Redis service, and it works in production.
