Congrats on the call out by Point Free, authors of the functional architecture you are using. https://twitter.com/pointfreeco/status/1266397563004915712

Bike-pooling and carpooling are taking off quite a bit in Asia (at the expense of Uber). Scooters and bikes are doing well in US and EU. There are more apps to be built for sure...…

How do you calculate ETAs? Do you use Google Maps?

1. You don’t have to pay Google :-) 2. Google packages the on-device navigation and places experience for ridesharing, while this repo is focused on the location tracking aspect an…

ah that's interesting. we've seen that sales people don't like being tracked, they like to perform. service teams on the other hand like stuff being automated and get more efficien…

@kishanht ridesharing is a relatable metaphor for any two sided network with moving supply on one side, being matched with dynamic demand on the other. @Charles_tse thanks for goin…

good question, main goal was to get the project up and running quickly. guess for the frontend there's less need for it. the backend project uses localtunnel to consume webhooks wh…

Yes you could use MapTiler or Mapbox or a React component for any other map. Google is most popular and therefore added to sample. Heroku is the easiest to get up and running with.…

Smartphone is where the work app sits. Making the app location aware serves a diff need than vehicle connected telematics. The worlds converge a bit but tandem is more the norm tha…

Yes look us up here: https://github.com/hypertrack

Does Uber track the ride or the driver? App users are carrying out work and the business wants to track work. Asset track and telematics are product categories used in the industry…

We built this app to dogfood our location tracking platform. Places visited, commutes taken, walks to lunches, drives to meetings … really the timeline of movement from place to pl…

Agree that serverless is a buzzword here, just as data science and machine learning have now become. It is about taming greater complexity at lower cost, and at increasingly more g…

Not using EC2 directly, though AWS breaks that down cost with a line item for EC2. Many tables in DynamoDB. Two out of those are most used (equally).

That's exactly right. Background location tracking leads to constant traffic. Not running into cold starts as an issue.

Top 3 are EC2, DynamoDB and Lambda.

We haven't hit any scaling issues yet. GraphQL is nice. It's really about getting data directly from DynamoDB and Aurora to an end point that Android/iOS/React-JS can query and sub…

Ah yes. The engineer would tell you we can move when we want. The manager would tell you it is harder than it looks. Management would tell you it will never happen. :-) See it as r…

Good question. At 100x, probably not. At 10x, yes would be better than managing services on our own. By that time, we would have a better prioritized list of which services to self…
