What I Built
An open-source Formula 1 REST API powered by FastF1, covering race results,
standings, lap analysis, and high-frequency telemetry data from 2018–2026.
The Architecture
The backend runs on Django + Celery with isolated worker tiers
The Interesting Problem
Heavy telemetry requests can take 30+ seconds to parse. Instead of making
clients poll, I used Redis pub/sub with Server-Sent Events (SSE) so data
streams to the client the moment a Celery worker finishes.

Would love feedback from anyone who tries it!
