Designing an External API Platform
This article explains the design of NearMe's external API platform for ridesharing services, including tenant setup, authentication, webhooks, and the relay service between internal and external APIs.
Building CI with Argo
In this article, I will explain NearMe's CI architecture. We implemented CI using Argo running on Kubernetes.
Order Processing for Ride-Sharing Dispatch
In our service, we accumulate advance reservations and, each time a new order arrives, compute the best ride-sharing combination so dispatch decisions can be made incrementally. This article looks at the kinds of patterns that emerge in this process.
Ride Dispatch Orchestration
In this article, we look at the analogy between Kubernetes and dispatch routing.
Time-Series Demand Forecasting with Advance Reservations Using Darts
In this article, we forecast ride demand for an advance-booking mobility service using time-series analysis.
Exploring OpenStreetMap with Rust
In this article, we explore OpenStreetMap, an open geospatial dataset, using Rust. The motivation is to solve large and complex transportation data problems with higher performance and better resolution.
On the Smooth Relationship Between Taxis and Buses
In this article, I explain the main parameters used in ridesharing shuttles, show that one extreme becomes taxi-like while the other becomes bus-like, and discuss how we can connect the two smoothly.
