The problem it solves

You want to build or test a real-time tracking dashboard, but you don't have a live location feed to work with yet, and setting one up from scratch just to test the plumbing wastes time you'd rather spend on the actual feature.

Who it fits

Developers or operations teams building or testing a real-time location dashboard who need a live data feed to work against.

How it works

  1. The workflow runs automatically every minute
  2. It fetches the current live location data from a public source
  3. The location is formatted into a simple message
  4. The message is published to a topic in your messaging system for any connected app to use
What you get

A live feed your dashboard can trust

You get a steady stream of live location data flowing straight into your systems for any dashboard to use.

What you get

A continuous stream of location updates published to your messaging system.

What you need

An ActiveMQ messaging server.

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.
