GPS Microservice

The GPS microservice is part of IOx Platform services suite, which provides standard APIs over REST/WebSocket for retrieving gps data. The GPS co-ordinates can be obtained in a request/response fashion using REST API or an application can simply open a web socket and receive streaming GPS co-ordinates. GPS microservice internally depends on IOx Core services. Core services provides

  • Uniform northbound API layer to which Apps can talk
  • Message bus over which IOx Services talk to each other

Core services is part of IR8xx images.Any IOx service can be directly installed without having to install Core service externally.Core services will be bought on demand whenever GPS service is started.Admin/Customer need not manage lifecycle of Core services.This is managed by IOx framework.

Supported platforms
