Real-time inventory management demo

This repo contains an eCommerce demo to show a very basic example of real-time inventory management using Tinybird to ingest data, transform it, and publish endpoints. The demo is built using Svelte and Tailwind CSS.

It is deliberately simple to be quickly showable in a demo.

You can visit the deployed apps here:

• Real-time inventory management demo

Requirements

• Node.js < v. 18
• Python < v. 3.8

Getting Started

Data

1. Setup your Tinybird account

Click this button to deploy the data project to Tinybird 👇

Follow the guided process, and your Tinybird workspace is now ready to start receiving events.

2. Setup this repository locally

git clone https://github.com/tinybirdco/real-time-inventory-management-system
cd signatures-POC

3. Install dependencies

npm install

4. Setup Tinybird CLI

The install script above will automatically install and configure the tinybird-cli for this project.

Choose your region: 1 for us-east, 2 for eu. A new .tinyb file will be created.tb

Go to https://ui.tinybird.co/tokens and copy the token with admin rights.

⚠️Warning! The Admin token, the one you copied following this guide, is your admin token. Don't share it or publish it in your application. You can manage your tokens via API or using the Auth Tokens section in the UI. More detailed info at Auth Tokens management

This script will also push the data project to your Tinybird workspace.

5. Start generating data!

In the terminal, run the following command:

npm run seed

Go to your Tinybird workspace and check the data is flowing.

Frontend

Once you have your backend setup, and you have data from the data generator, you can start the front end.

1. Go to the frontend directory

cd frontend

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Create the .env file

cp .env.example .env

Then be sure to paste the admin token from Step 3 into the .env file.

4. Run the app locally

npm run dev

5. Open http://localhost:5173 with your browser to see the result.

Data

The data used in this demo is stored in the data-generator directory.

The data is generated using a Javascript script that uses the Faker library to generate fake data for this demo. The script is run using the npm run seed command.
