Routing capabilities are an essential part of any navigation app. When a user searches a route from A to B, they expect to get very accurate and relevant route suggestions.
Routing is a very complex engineering challenge where data plays a critical role. It's freshness, accuracy, and coverage are key success factors for finding an optimal route.
Routers that operate on stale data are useless as in reality busses are stuck in traffic jams, trains can get cancelled due to union strikes, and normal operating schedules are often changed due to planned construction work or completely unplanned challenges. In this talk, Sergey will discuss how Apache Kafka® and Confluent stack are playing an essential role in a very complex and robust real-time data pipeline which fuels Mobimeo’s routing capabilities.
