I have built similar system in 2002 using JGroups (JavaGroups at the time before open source project was acquired by JBoss) while persisting asynchronously to DB (Oracle at the time). Our scale even in 2002 was much higher than 13,000 vehicles.
The project I believe still appears in success story on JGroups website after 20+ years. I am surprised people are writing their own databases for location storage in 2024 :). There was no need to invent new technology in 2002 and definitely not in 2024.

Sure we have had roads for hundreds of years but they're not the same ones we have today, even though it's the same concept and function. You can't just take advantage of the technology we have today and at the same time refuse to acknowledge it and hand-wavingly claim it was just the same in '02. It's easy to say so about anything if we're going to conveniently gloss over the details. Believe it or not, many technologies that changed the world and we depend on today actually have origin stories similar to the one shared in the article. Many of them started as custom internal tools that I imagine you would've been similarly critical towards them for trying to invent new technology needlessly.
