    Dataset

    • Santander Cycles docking stations (live snapshot) · Point · 799 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Classify full and empty active stations in SQL
    • Build a bounded nearest-source transfer map
    • Size a shift and report unserved empties from the same rules

  2. Not started, Polling a live feed: what does it cost per day?Web deliveryAnswers

    Size the transfer cost of a live layer from the file as served — uncompressed, gzipped, and per day at scale — before choosing between polling and push.

    Dataset

    • Santander Cycles docking stations (live snapshot) · Point · 799 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Measure a payload as served rather than as re-encoded
    • Quantify what transport compression buys
    • Extrapolate a polling design to a daily transfer figure
