Which software does Tesla use to send data from the cars to the cloud?
Is it Apache Kafka like streaming service? Or is it proprietary? #engineering #software #swe #tech #tesla
For-loop polling
while (true) { sleep(1); <terrible http service call> }
Amzn with its infamous constant values sprinkled all over the code base.
Pretty sure they are pushing to a Kafka bus but what’s actually pushing from the car itself is not Kafka
In-house solution built on Go - Kafka is in use throughout various areas of the architecture
The Tesla app on your smartphone sending data to GCP.
why not send from the car itself?
Bluetooth backdoor in Android. Uses P2P Bluetooth connections with nearby Android devices making a chain all the way from car to Tesla HQ
Ok boomer
😂😂😂😂
TIL the car runs Ubuntu. wonder if they use gRPC+protos to talk to Tesla servers
Yes we do
Dude, do you realize how humongous gprc is?
Wait... What? Tesla installed Kafka in their cars? What did I just read?
