The problem it solves

If your app or dashboard needs to show live, moving data, manually refreshing and re-entering numbers is not realistic. You need the underlying data to update itself so whatever you build on top of it always reflects the current position.

Who it fits

A developer or team building a real-time app or dashboard that needs a continuously updated data feed.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks for the latest position data
  2. The most recent values are pulled in
  3. The data is formatted for storage
  4. Your database is updated automatically so anything built on it stays current
What you get

A database that always shows the latest position

Your database stays continuously updated with the latest location data automatically, so anything you build on top of it always reflects the current picture.

What you get

A continuously updated database record reflecting the latest live position data.

What you need

A Firebase account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
