Piping Rain in Python - Adventures in a minute latency Radar Pipeline
Tishampati Dhar

This talk covers the devops for a data pipeline channeling images from a self-hosted Passive Rain Radar in Nairobi to WebApps, Mobile apps and bots in Twitter and WhatsApp. The idea was put together in a restaurant and hastily deployed by 2 engineers. It continues run (and to fail in weird ways) 6 months in. Shoestrings hold together a service with 1000's of users with around 70% uptime.
