Apex Logistics Console
A high-concurrency analytical dashboard that monitors vehicle locations, delivery routes, and parcel status.
Executive Overview
A high-concurrency analytical dashboard that monitors vehicle locations, delivery routes, and parcel status.
Business Problem
A logistics network experienced tracking delays and inefficient routing, resulting in high fuel costs and delivery bottlenecks.
Client Goals
Technical Challenges
Ingesting and processing 5,000 telemetry updates per second without database bottlenecks or display freeze.
Solution
Designed and deployed an analytical platform. Built a custom Go processor to evaluate vehicle trajectories and calculate routes using OpenStreetMap datasets.
Architecture Overview
Fleet sensors send telemetry to an Apache Kafka ingestion pipeline. A Go-based streaming service processes updates, writing to a TimescaleDB instance.
Core Features
Technology Stack
API Integrations
Database Design
TimescaleDB handles time-series GPS data. PostgreSQL stores fleet metadata and route schedules.
Authentication Strategy
Single Sign-On (SSO) integrated with Azure Active Directory, issuing OAuth2 access tokens.
Security Considerations
API keys are stored securely. Enforces role-based access control (RBAC), restricting route modifications to supervisors.
Performance Optimizations
Uses deck.gl to render vehicle nodes on map overlays, keeping UI rendering smooth.
Testing Strategy
Tests ingestion pipelines under simulated peak loads to confirm system stability.
Deployment Strategy
Go microservices deploy to AWS EKS using Helm charts, running autoscaling nodes.
Monitoring Strategy
Grafana dashboards display ingestion rates, routing processing latency alerts to Slack.
Business Results & Lessons
Optimized delivery routes, reduced fuel consumption, and improved tracking reliability.
Decoupling ingestion pipelines from the database prevents transaction bottlenecks under load.
Deploy predictive maintenance forecasts. • Integrate autonomous shipping updates.
