Rabbit Mobility

2020
Rabbit Mobility (AKA Rabbit Scooters) Backend System Revamp: I joined Rabbit they just had an MVP that was just working for a few vehicles and a few users per day. The project was built by freelancers and had no design. It was just built to function and barely can be called an MVP. I did a complete revamp to the system to handle communication with the mobile devices and the IoT devices embedded into the vehicles. The challenge to scale such model is basically that we need to have updates from vehicles multiple times per minutes and to scale this model, you need to have an event driven architecture. I have used MQTT protocol to communicate with the IoT devices and used RabbitMQ as a messaging broker to handle the traffic efficiently. Also introduced a caching layer to help read/write hot data faster for better user experience. There is a lot to talk about in this project so I think we can take that in a call to have better details.
