An interesting project fell into my lap and I'm trying to scope out exactly how to get it done...
I'm with a hosted software company with end-users all over the globe. We've got some very high-end network monitoring hardware in place and are looking to make some visualizations from the data we get out of these things. Specifically, we can identify when an end user performs action A, B, C, etc. The hardware we've got allows us to "stream" these events as they occur with information on the location the user is from - and this is what we'd like to visualize. I'm new to something like this - usually an asp.net C# developer. I'll be working with Java and am going through the how-tos and tutorials for the app engine currently. My main question - is the app engine platform something I should consider for a project like this?? I'd envisioned one process that "catches" data from our hardware stream and writes it to a DB in real time, then a second process that would be the "front end" - a googlemaps/earth overlay to show the events within a couple of seconds of their actual occurrence. If anyone has any advice or insight, it would be much appreciated. I'm going to continue ramping up on the technology and will surely be back with some specific questions in the future.
