Several years ago I was a contractor on a project for that would sip up data from all forms of sensor and moving objects around a large city.
It was decided that we needed Kafka and a few similar tools to handle it. It was not hard to calculate the current max traffic or estimate the traffic growth over the next 10 years. I did a demo of the system running on my laptop (all of it) + Postgres
handling 100x the current data without too much difficulty. Still they went with the "scale" solution because it was the right design.
(and of course the consultants and me got quite lot more work todo so made a good deal more money) |
