DataStreams
Channels for the events you care about: server health, sales, IoT readings, whatever you define. Each event carries time, source, and the values that matter.
Connect — live operations monitoring
Live answers to
"what just
happened?"
Connect turns any URL or API into a live feed. Build Dashboards that reflect what happened ten seconds ago — not yesterday morning. Spotlights poll endpoints you care about, DataScrolls stream events as they land, DataCharts show the history, and Reactions respond when something crosses a line you set.
The vocabulary
Seven nouns. One data flow.
DataStreams are channels. Tokens gate them. Spotlights and the API push Events in. DataCharts and DataScrolls render them out. Reactions act on them. Dashboards bundle the views.
Tokens
Gate every API call. Scoped and time-bounded so access stays intentional.
Spotlights
Poll any URL on a schedule and turn the result into an Event. No custom code required.
DataCharts
Turn Events into line, bar, or pie charts. Drop them on a Dashboard or share a public link.
DataScrolls
A live feed of Events as they arrive, so ops screens update as things happen instead of waiting on a report.
Reactions
When an Event matches a rule you set, send email, fire a webhook, or raise a flag.
07 · Dashboards
Bundle DataCharts and DataScrolls into the views your team actually uses.
Every Organization starts with a default Dashboard and adds as many as it needs.
Open to your stack
Post an Event in one curl.
Send from your POS, WMS, ERP, or anything that can make an HTTP request.
- Idempotency keys on every write — retries don't double-post.
- Token-scoped DataStreams — one client doesn't get write access to everything.
- Public slug URLs — share a DataChart with a vendor, no login.
