DESCAPY updated January 27, 2026
Description & Motivations
The goal of this project was to build a production-ready, enterprise-grade event streaming pipeline on a single VPS using almost entirely Open Source (OSS) tools.
I chose to work with Wi-Fi “wardriving” data because it felt tangible and “real-world.” I could have used Python Faker to generate fake profiles or messages with to feed into Kafka, i might do this in the future because i can control and signifacntly increase the number of messages to test the stack/project to its full capability, I wanted to capture live physical signals around my neighborhood.
