go library & suite of microservices for handling the NRE DarwinD3 feeds
The main purpose of this project is to consume the feeds provided by National Rail Enquiries in real time and expose that information as a REST service which can be consumed by a client, usually a website.
https://departureboards.mobi/ is an example of one of these clients.
The project is split currently into 4 individual microservices, each in it's own container.
- darwinref handles the reference feed and provides access to data that doesn't change often, including stations, locations, train operators etc.
- darwintt handles the daily timetable feed
- darwind3 handles the real time feed which includes currently running trains and forecasts of their arrival times & delays.
- ldb provides a departure board service allowing the current status to be shown per station.
The docker images for each microservice are listed below:
| Microservice | Latest image | Stable Image |
|---|---|---|
| darwind3 | area51/nre-feeds:darwind3-latest | area51/nre-feeds:darwind3-0.4 |
| darwinkb | area51/nre-feeds:darwinref-latest | area51/nre-feeds:darwinref-0.4 |
| darwinref | area51/nre-feeds:darwinref-latest | area51/nre-feeds:darwinref-0.4 |
| darwintt | area51/nre-feeds:darwintt-latest | area51/nre-feeds:darwintt-0.4 |
| ldb | area51/nre-feeds:ldb-latest | area51/nre-feeds:ldb-0.4 |
Note: 0.4 is the current live version that uses the v12 push port schemas. Currently the master branch is working on the v16 branch so will not work publicly until that schema version becomes available.
