I have 50 GPS devices that send latitude & longitude information using HTTP requests.
I would like to be like to represent this information on the browser in real time.
My doubts are:
- What tools are available in Ruby for handling massive real time data. It comes as HTTP requests.
- What tools are available in the browser for displaying real time data?
I am not sure if it is possible for the browser side to use the data coming from the GPS devices directly, without saving it on the DB. Or perhaps I must save it on the DB. I would like some ideas on this regard.
May be push notifications will help you. one of the implementation with faye gem can be found at http://railscasts.com/episodes/260-messaging-with-faye
