Tolga PoC

Current State

/{{URL}}api/v1/existence/newexistence A new existence object can be added to a collection. It accepts cartesian coordinates and coverts it to a GeoJSON with an offset longitude and latitude Location property is GeoJSON (currently, Point)

{{URL}}api/v1/existence/q1results Summary. Identify and filter target documents for a given MAC address and starting date. Description. (1) Uses MongoDB aggregation thru NodeJS controller code and Mongoose Driver @param {string} eMAC MAC Address @param {timestamp, ISO} eTimestamp Starting Date (ISO - so can go to a second if needed) @return {array of documents}

TODO: Accept maxDistance as a query parameter TODO: (Dev) Prepare a basic entry form and put FE infra in place (React, Redux, ReactRouter, Page + Component structure with initial API wiring) TODO: (InProgress) - Redis introduced. Management of different queues handled by different Nodejs instances. (Research) what is used for queue/task management in the market (especially the ones I am interested with (@TOLGA What do you use?)) TODO: (Think) Move to TS on backend code? Write tests and deploy as well?

Brainstorming - Potential Next Tasks

• MapReduce (needed?), Sharding: How would those need to be considered?
• Queue Management needed once the use case is clarified with its integration points and expected user communication during the search
• User Journey - Personas, use cases would help on expectation management and (might) help in some backend app + infra ["How will the user know what is going on? Needed?]
• MongoDB integration on how currently the data enters the system and travels. At which step a new doc created? Would an ongoing data cleanup + summary needed?
• GeoJSON Object alternatives need to be studied (along with above). Should a "signature object involving start-end dates and polygons" be considered? Or something similar?
• Performance, PoC, Experimentation needed in all stages

Organizational Aspects

• Effort, dev and experimentation cannot be done in isolation from the current infra and team. Must be an extension
• Cost, onprem, cloud, admin, sign/login, balance in between use of current and redesign/develop and learnings will need to be ongoing
