In the last few years, data-centric projects<\/strong> have been one of our primary focuses and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to companies\u2019 growing curiosity around this topic and higher demand, we strongly committed to R&D activities to test our data expertise<\/strong> to the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, understanding things it\u2019s not enough. We need to experiment, fine-tune and get our hands dirty in bringing tech into extreme and crazy contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s how, some time ago, we end up assembling a hand-made realistic racing simulator. We carefully equipped it with a direct-drive steering wheel with 32 Nm of torque, pedals with hydraulic dampers designed to withstand over 140 kg of pressure, a racing seat with 6-point belts, and, above all, a 4DOF movement platform to reproduce vehicle dynamics and roughness of the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a next step, we built super-powerful hardware able to keep up with all our performance obsessions<\/strong>: we installed \u201cAssetto Corsa Competizione\u201d on it, one of the most accurate driving simulation software ever built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most exciting part of the project – and the most challenging one – however, was intercepting as many metrics as possible from “Assetto Corsa” and bringing them efficiently to the Cloud through a high-performing data ingestion system<\/strong>. Last but not least, we aimed to build a detailed dashboard reporting data in real-time<\/strong> during the lap so that the driver could adapt the driving and improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galileo Galilei stated: “Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know, we only get inspired by the best;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Cloud-side of the project will be the focus of the following paragraphs. We’ll describe in detail how we chose and combined AWS services for data-centric projects to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lights out and away we go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To detail how we developed the data analytics solution for our Simulator Project,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we will present why we have chosen specific AWS Services and how we have combined them to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
