Lunch & Learn [UK/Virtual] with Nick Thorne

Nick Thorne "Fleet Monitoring: Building a Scalable Cloud App with Django and Plotly Dash"

Session description:
I'll provide an introduction to the development of a train fleet monitoring cloud app using Django with embedded Plotly Dash dashboards. This will include insights into the limitations of Postgres and the rationale behind integrating a specialised database (ClickhouseDB) to scale for bitwise decoding, storing, and real-time fault scanning 1500 events per minute (or 750 million annually) on a single dedicated server. I'll delve into our deployment strategy utilising Docker, along with Grafana and Prometheus monitoring. Additionally, I will elaborate on why we bypassed COTS IoT offerings (cost!) and highlight why Django, Plotly Dash, Docker, and ClickhouseDB are a great tech stack for building and deploying data-heavy real time cloud apps.
