GPS Tracking Platform

Managing Coordinate Spikes

The client needed a system capable of tracking 3,000 active hardware devices. Telemetry updates arrived every 5 seconds, causing database locks and coordinate dropping during rush hour traffic spikes.

Event Hub Queues & postGIS Database

We designed an ingestion pipeline utilizing Azure Event Hubs to queue coordinates safely. A C# parser service reads from the queue, processes coordinates, and writes to PostgreSQL with PostGIS spatial indexes.

• Azure Event Hub queue system for zero coordinate drops
• C# parsing workers translating raw hardware strings
• PostgreSQL with PostGIS indexing for fast spatial queries
• SignalR hubs streaming coordinates directly to maps
