Radar System Architecture
Radar is built on a distributed, event-driven architecture designed for high throughput and real-time processing of social media data.
Core Components:
- Data Collection Layer: Integrates with social media APIs and web crawlers to gather data from multiple platforms
- Stream Processing Layer: Processes incoming data streams in real-time using Apache Kafka and Spark Streaming
- Analysis Layer: Applies NLP, machine learning, and statistical models to extract insights
- Storage Layer: Utilizes a combination of MongoDB for document storage and Elasticsearch for fast querying
- API Layer: GraphQL API that provides flexible access to processed data
- Presentation Layer: React-based frontend with interactive visualizations
Scalability Considerations:
The system is designed to scale horizontally at each layer:
- Containerized microservices deployed on Kubernetes
- Auto-scaling based on processing load
- Partitioned data processing for parallel execution
- Distributed caching with Redis to reduce API load
- Multi-region deployment for global coverage and redundancy
