Personal Bicycle Tracking App

A personal bicycle tracking app built to monitor real-time location data while cycling, allowing users to share their live location with family and friends through a web-based dashboard. This project is a work in progress and serves as a learning platform to enhance my full-stack development skills, while also gaining experience with the Kotlin ecosystem.

Project Structure

The repository is organized into the following four main folders:

• backend: Contains the server-side API written in Kotlin using the Ktor framework. This handles incoming data from the Android client and serves the API for the dashboard.
• android-client: The Android client application, built with Jetpack Compose, which tracks the user's real-time location and sends it to the backend.
• dashboard: A React web application that visualizes the current location data on a map, allowing users to track the cyclist's activity in real-time.
• infra: Contains Terraform scripts for creating and managing infrastructure on AWS. This deploys the backend API and the dashboard as Docker containers running on AWS ECS.

Features

• Real-time location tracking: Tracks and sends GPS data from the Android client while cycling.
• Web Dashboard: Displays live location data on a map via the React-based dashboard.
• Cloud Deployment: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to manage deployment on AWS.
• Scalable Architecture: Backend and dashboard are containerized with Docker, allowing easy deployment across different environments.

Technology Stack

• Backend: Kotlin, Ktor
• Android Client: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose
• Frontend Dashboard: React, JavaScript
• Cloud Infrastructure: AWS ECS, Docker, Terraform
