Could you build this?
Partial Creating a frontend dashboard showing streaming flight data is trivial, but real-time stream processing and distributed SQL execution over high-throughput ADS-B telemetry require dedicated streaming infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A functional system requires integrating global ADS-B receiver feeds (e.g., FlightRadar24 or ADSBexchange APIs/aggregations) ingested into Kafka or Redpanda, processed by a streaming SQL engine like Materialize, RisingWave, or Apache Flink, and delivered over WebSockets. The challenge lies in managing high-volume, out-of-order temporal flight coordinate streams, windowed aggregations, and maintaining sub-second SQL query responsiveness under continuous high-write loads.
