Hi Jeremy While you *can* do this via GeoServer, it's probably far from optimal. GeoServer is designed to publish data (via WMS, WFS standards). You could use a WFS-T (transaction) to update a device's location stored in a spatial database, but it would be more efficient to have a simple CRUD API directly to the database, not via GeoServer. Take a look at https://postgrest.org/ perhaps? You might also want to look into websockets for real time display updates.
