Ansible provisions the k3d cluster and Flux controllers; Terraform
modules deploy the simulated fleet and ground warehouse. Compose and
k3d share var/t1 (live lake) and var/t3 (warehouse). The prototype
gains a live mode fed by the explorer read-only SQL API.
Single-page view over the Parquet lake: live partition tree with
rolled-up sizes and a SQL console gated by the same read-only rules
as the peer query channel. Ships in the monitoring profile.
Monitoring compose profile: dependency-free Prometheus exporter that
scans the Parquet output with DuckDB (rows, detections, pose frames,
battery, RSSI, link distance, bytes on disk), Prometheus scrape config
and a provisioned Grafana dashboard. Demonstrates the observability
doctrine: fleet statistics derived from the data platform itself.
One process per drone: seeded patrol kinematics, sensor streams at
realistic rates, detection events, hot current/ blocks sealed into
Hive-partitioned Parquet, and the compact UDP state broadcast with
peer RSSI derivation. Scales via docker compose --scale.
