In Zé we thrive to find our best partner to deliver beverages to our customers, providing the best and fastest service. To achieve this our compute fleet deals with GIS objects all the time.
Save in a database a partner defined by all the fields represented by the JSON and rules below:
{
"id": 1,
"tradingName": "Adega da Cerveja - Pinheiros",
"ownerName": "Zé da Silva",
"coverageArea": {
"type": "MultiPolygon",
"coordinates": [
[[[30, 20], [45, 40], [10, 40], [30, 20]]],
[[[15, 5], [40, 10], [10, 20], [5, 10], [15, 5]]]
]
},
"address": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-46.57421, -21.785741]
}
}
Return a specific partner by its id with all the fields presented above.
Given a specific location (coordinates long and lat), search the nearest partner which the coverage area includes the location.

Nearest neighbor search (NNS) is the optimization problem of finding the point in a given set that is closest to a given point. Using Linear search is the simplest solution to the NNS problem but has a running time of O(dN), where d is the dimensionality. Another more efficient way is to use space-partitioning methods, such as Kd-tree average complexity is O(log N) in the case of randomly distributed points, worst case complexity is O(kN^(1-1/k)). 3D-tree implementation is a good algorithm as far as the time complexity is concerned, although for bigger accuracy at calculating the surface distance of points in the Earth “sphere” Great-circle_distance algorithms can also be used.
Springboot is chosen as the application framework because it provides a lightweight implementation of the strong Spring ecosystem with many modules/projects that are easy to “wire” together. In this project many such modules have been utilised, like a) “Spring Web services”, a very efficient product for contract-first Restful service development. b)“Spring Test” , a support module for unit testing(with Junit5) and integration testing. c) “Spring JPA” , providing specifications that facilitates object-relational mapping to manage relational data.
