Starter Guide | Build a Heat Map Tile App with Alibaba Cloud ECS and PostgreSQL in One Click

This tutorial describes how to build interactive heat map to realize geo visualization and real-time analytics by Ganos on ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL.

This article focuses on one-click deployment through the Alibaba Cloud console. If you need to use scripting for automated deployment, you can refer to this article that uses Terraform.

Overview

A Heat Map Tile is a data visualization tool that represents the spatial distribution of data by overlaying colored tiles on a map. Each tile's color intensity reflects the magnitude or concentration of a particular metric within that area. Heat Map Tiles are often used to visualize geographic data, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and outliers at a glance.

Billing Instructions

The expenses on Hmt mainly involve：

  1. Selected vCPU and memory specifications
  2. System disk type and capacity
  3. Public network bandwidth
  4. ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL specifications and storage space
