If you think about the connected car, it is an interesting exercise in instrumentation, data acquisition, data transport, and data visualization. What data do you grab? How frequently do you grab it? Is there a path to visualizing that data or doing something interesting with it?
A recent connected car project I was involved in dealt with these very issues. There are a number of topics one could cover, but things really get interesting once you have data coming in. This is where NodeJS fit in and some tangential work myself and others did in enabling NodeJS and Azure Event Hubs to talk. This talk will highlight the end to end story, but will focus on how we handled data ingest with MQTT and then leveraged our AMQP work to publish that into Azure Event Hub.
With the data streams coming into Event Hub, we were then able to leverage that data into a number of applications including realtime visualization of location, trip detection, etc.
