A cloud-native ride dispatch platform designed to explore microservices architecture, Kubernetes, GitOps, observability, distributed systems, and production-grade DevOps practices.
Taksim is not intended to be another taxi application clone. It is a hands-on platform for learning how modern cloud-native systems are built, deployed, operated, monitored, and scaled.
Modern software engineering is no longer just about writing application code.
Real-world systems require:
- Containerization
- Service-to-service communication
- Event-driven architecture
- CI/CD pipelines
- Kubernetes orchestration
- GitOps workflows
- Distributed tracing
- Metrics and monitoring
- Resilience and recovery strategies
Taksim provides a realistic domain where these concepts can be explored end-to-end.
- Learn microservices architecture
- Learn Kubernetes deployment patterns
- Practice GitOps with Argo CD
- Implement distributed observability
- Simulate production traffic
- Explore scaling and resilience patterns
- Experiment with service mesh technologies
- Build a realistic cloud-native platform
- Services: Go
- Local orchestration: Docker Compose
- Event transport: RabbitMQ
- Metrics: Prometheus
- Tracing: OpenTelemetry
- Dashboards: Grafana
- Deployment packaging: Helm
