Automatically checks a live external data source every minute and pushes the update into your internal messaging system.

The problem it solves

You want your internal dashboards or apps to always show current information, but pulling live data manually or on a schedule someone has to remember is unreliable. When a data feed updates constantly, checking it by hand isn't realistic.

Who it fits

Teams that need a constant live data feed, like location or tracking information, pushed automatically into their internal systems.

How it works

  1. Every minute, the system checks the live data source
  2. It reads the latest position and details from the feed
  3. The update is formatted into a simple message
  4. The message is published to a topic in RabbitMQ for other systems to use
What you get

Systems that always see the latest position

Your internal systems stay updated with the freshest live data every single minute.

What you get

A constant stream of up-to-date position data available to any system subscribed to the RabbitMQ topic.

What you need

A RabbitMQ server or hosted messaging queue.

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.
