To access the data, we must create a subscription to the demo data stream. This data stream is found on the Solace Marketplace. The demo data stream used by this application was supplied by Solace, which comprised a real-time stream of data that has a similar taxi mapping display as the dashboard below. This project was coded in Python and connects to Solace PubSub+ Event Broker using MQTT, an open standard messaging protocol. This POC was to demonstrate the power of real-time visual analytics with geospatial data. The idea was to create a dashboard style/layout that is common in business intelligence software such as Qilk Sense or Power BI, but is built using data entirely sourced from a stream. I was recently tasked with creating a proof of concept dashboard for live streamed data. To participate in the next episode of our Solace Community Lightning Talks, reply to this post in our community. To watch Daniel demo this application in real time during our Solace Community Lightning Talks, check out his video on YouTube. Below he shares his experience creating a POC of a dashboard that displays live streamed data. Daniel Curtis is a member of the Solace Developer Community member.
