When working with large data sources, not all features or attributes within your data will be equally relevant to all your users. We want to prioritize identifying and boosting specific […]

Field Notes: Deploy and Visualize ROS Bag Data on AWS using rviz and Webviz for Autonomous Driving

In the automotive industry, ROS bag files are frequently used to capture drive data from test vehicles configured with cameras, LIDAR, GPS, and other input devices. The data for each device is stored as a topic in the ROS bag file. Developers and engineers need to visualize and inspect the contents of ROS bag files to identify […]

How to Scale OpenTravel Messaging Architecture with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

Field Notes: How to Scale OpenTravel Messaging Architecture with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

The travel industry relies on OpenTravel messaging systems to collect and distribute travel data—like hotel inventory and pricing—to many independent ecommerce travel sites. These travel sites need immediate access to the most current hotel inventory and pricing data. This allows shoppers access to the available rooms at the right prices. Each time a room is […]
