Staging Pro 2.0 - Real-Time Race Control IoT Backend System

Staging Pro 2.0 is a production-grade IoT backend system designed for real-time race event coordination and control. The platform enables race coordinators to manage multiple concurrent events, control staging sequences, start/stop races, and broadcast safety flags to connected devices with sub-100ms latency.

Built on Django REST Framework with PostgreSQL for data persistence and Redis for real-time message queuing, the system handles complex race state management including auto-staging algorithms, race progression tracking, and immutable event logging for audit compliance.

The architecture leverages Django Channels for WebSocket connections, enabling real-time bidirectional communication between race control dashboards and IoT devices. The system processes live telemetry data from race coordinators, automatically calculates staging sequences based on configurable buffer algorithms, and broadcasts updates to all connected clients instantaneously.
