Architecture Overview
Architecture Overview
Our platform acts as a comprehensive telematics data broker, receiving data from mobile applications with Damoov SDK, then providing multiple consumption methods for clients:

Data Flow Architecture
1. Data Ingestion
- Mobile apps with Damoov SDK send GPS/telematics data to our platform
- SDK handles trip detection, data collection, and secure transmission
- Real-time processing and validation of incoming telematics data
2. API & Streaming Layer
- REST API: HTTP endpoints for device positions and trip data
- WebSocket: Real-time streaming with JWT authentication
- Embedded SPA: Complete tracking interface via iFrame
3. Client Integration
- JWT-based authentication with instance-level isolation
- Rate limiting and connection management
- Raw sensor data with client-side unit conversion
- Multiple consumption methods for various client types
Technical Architecture Details
HTTP Server
- RESTful API endpoints with comprehensive data access
- JWT authentication with instance-level isolation
- WebSocket server for real-time data streaming
- Automatic unit conversion and timezone handling
- Intelligent data processing and validation
- High-performance data storage and retrieval
Data Types Supported
- Location Data: GPS coordinates, speed, heading, accuracy
- Metadata: Device tokens, track tokens, instance identifiers
Platform as Data Broker
Core Value Proposition
- Data Ingestion: Your mobile apps publish GPS/telematics data to our MQTT infrastructure
- Data Processing: We handle validation, enrichment, and real-time processing
- Data Distribution: Multiple consumption methods for your systems and clients
- Scalability: Enterprise-grade infrastructure handling thousands of concurrent devices
- Reliability: Automatic failover, connection recovery, and data persistence
Integration Patterns
-
Mobile App (Damoov SDK) → Platform → Your Backend
- Mobile apps with integrated Damoov SDK send trip data to our platform
- Your backend consumes processed data via REST API or WebSocket
- Use for fleet management, logistics, or tracking applications
-
Mobile App (Damoov SDK) → Platform → Web Portal
- Mobile apps send trip data to our platform
- Web portals use our embedded SPA or WebSocket streaming
- Use for real-time dashboards and monitoring interfaces
-
Multi-App → Platform → Multiple Consumers
- Multiple mobile apps send data to our platform
- Multiple clients consume the same processed data stream
- Use for multi-tenant applications or data distribution to various systems
Best Practices
- Authentication: Use JWT tokens with appropriate instance-level permissions
- Data Format: Send raw sensor data (m/s, meters) for consistency
- Error Handling: Implement retry logic and connection recovery
- Rate Limiting: Respect connection limits and implement backoff strategies
- Monitoring: Implement connection monitoring and error handling
