Real-time Map displays real-time positions of public transport vehicles in Helsinki. It's a showcase for Proto.Actor - an ultra-fast distributed actors solution for Go, C#, and Java/Kotlin.

This repository contains the Go version of the sample

The app features:

• Real-time positions of vehicles.
• Vehicle trails.
• Geofencing notifications (vehicle entering and exiting the area).
• Vehicles in geofencing areas per public transport company.
• Horizontal scaling.

The goals of this app are:

1. Showing what Proto.Actor can do.
2. Presenting a semi-real-world use case of the distributed actor model.
3. Aiding people in learning how to use Proto.Actor.
