ATLAS is a realtime telemetry and analysis ecosystem used by engineers in F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, WEC, Formula E, E1 and other racing series. It provides teams with end to end pipeline that capture high frequency data from ECUs and sensors, distribute it through the ATLAS Data Server and the Kafka backed streaming architecture for low latency delivery to geo-dispersed teams, store it in SQL Race (SQL Server) or Parquet for high volume data analysis, and visualise it in ATLAS Viewer.
