Design a Robust School Bus Tracker System

This post discusses the architecture for a school bus tracker system, focusing on real-time monitoring and parental notifications. Key functional requirements include frequent location updates, real-time map visualization, proximity notifications, and data isolation between schools. Non-functional requirements involve scalability, high availability, reliability, security, and privacy. The post elaborates on various technical aspects such as API design, geohashing for location indexing, and using Redis for real-time updates. It also covers the system’s read/write ratio, proposing DynamoDB, and explores various scalability strategies using AWS managed services.
