Simulation of a flight tracking system consuming real time flight position events, handling aeronautical data in micro-services and displaying those data on a map.

• Flight position events are generated and published to a RabbitMQ instance by the event producer service.

• Those position events are consumed by

  • The flight status service which
    1. Update the current position of the associated flight in its internal database.
    2. Expose the position and their updates in near real-time with server-sent events.
  • The flight position history service
    1. Historize the position of the associated flight in its internal database.
    2. Expose the past positions of the flights in REST.

• Airport data (names and coordinates) are exposed with a REST api by the airport service.

• Flight data (departure, arrival, aircraft...) are exposed with a REST api by the flight service.

• A UI allows the visualization

  • of the current position of each aircraft on a map.
  • of the past position of each aircraft on a map.

• FastAPI
• RabbitMQ
• Next.js
• Leaflet

• Docker
• Docker compose

Run the simulation by running

docker compose up

The UI of the simulation is available at http://localhost:3000.
