Street Cart Vendor Finder
A dynamic real-time vendor tracking and mapping network that helps customers discover nearby street food vendors, leveraging spatial browser hardware alongside a structured relational backend.
Working Purpose
Street vendors are constantly moving, which makes them hard for regular customers to find consistently. This project addresses that gap with a location-aware platform: vendors share their live position, and customers can browse a map to find carts nearby in real time.
The backend exposes a REST API for location updates and vendor lookups, while the relational data layer keeps vendor profiles, categories, and location history organized for fast querying.
