 Basically, I'm at a hackathon about mobility: a nonprofit gathered data about the irregular bus system in Mexico City and we are creating apps to show that info. Our project is a gamificated app about calculating the best route for the user taking into account traffic and the intersection between routes (here, you can freely get off the bus at any traffic light and the congestion is a huge problem). 

 Sooo, they gave us a weird API and first we needed to make any sense of it. Specifically, we used Neo4j to get the intersections between the routes and the best choices by price and time, Elasticsearch to get nearby points to a certain location and Postgres to save the users and other game mechanics (we ditched MongoDB some minutes ago, apparently :P). 

 Aaaand the languages were just the ones we are better at, but, for example, the Phoenix generators gained us a lot of time and we found a Python project that helped a lot too.
