We utilize WebSockets and high-frequency GPS telemetry to provide millisecond-accurate tracking.
Telemetry Collection: Rider's mobile device sends encrypted GPS coordinates every 3 seconds.
Ingestion Layer: High-throughput message brokers (Kafka) process incoming streams.
Processing Engine: Algorithms calculate bearing, speed, and updated ETAs.
Distribution: Updates are pushed to Merchants and Customers via WebSockets.
Data & Security
- Encryption: All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).
- Redundancy: Multi-region deployment ensures 99.9% uptime.
- Privacy: We adhere to strict data protection regulations (GDPR/NDPR compliant).
