How to Scale EV Fleet Monitoring Using Python Simulators and OTel

Описание: Summary
In this technical webinar, the team at Integration Plumbers dives deep into managing Electric Vehicle (EV) fleets at scale. Discover how to build a fully self-contained Rivian API Simulator in Python to accelerate development, test edge cases, and validate OpenTelemetry (OTel) pipelines without touching production systems.

Whether you're managing a fleet of 20 or 20,000, this session provides a roadmap for modern, vendor-neutral observability in the evolving world of electronic vehicles.

What You’ll Learn:
The Power of Simulators: Why decoupling from external dependencies like the Rivian API is critical for rapid development.

Python Architecture: A deep dive into the dual-threaded Python simulation code using Flask and SQLite.

Simulation vs. Mocking: Why behavior-based simulators are superior to standard mocks for catching integration bugs.

OpenTelemetry for EV Fleets: How to leverage OTel’s three pillars (Traces, Metrics, and Logs) for holistic fleet management.

Scaling with Docker & Kubernetes: Best practices for deploying your monitoring stack from a laptop to a production cluster.

Real-World Scenarios: Testing low-battery alerts, geofence violations, and high-frequency GPS data flows.
