Real-Time Geospatial Without Standing Up Kafka

GPS fleet geofencing, IoT sensor aggregation, vessel AIS monitoring, drone live telemetry, wildlife tracking — all with MobilityDB trajectory storage and MQTT/Kafka ingest behind a REST API.

The Problem

Where the time goes today

Real-time geospatial requires Kafka, TimescaleDB, MobilityDB, MQTT brokers, and dashboards. Most teams need the answers, not the operations burden.

Kafka + Timescale + MobilityDB stack to stand up

MQTT broker for IoT sensor ingest

Geofence alerting built bespoke each project

Trajectory queries exceed PostGIS at scale

The Workflows

Streaming / Real-Time workflows on the platform

Eight workflows that absorb the streaming-geospatial operational burden behind a clean API.

Workflow Name & what it automates Time saved
#303GPS Fleet Geofencing
MobilityDB trajectory storage + geofence enter/exit alerting
#304IoT Sensor Aggregation
MQTT/Kafka ingest with spatial interpolation and exceedance alerts
#305Construction Equipment Tracking
MobilityDB trajectory storage + idle / utilization / dwell metrics
#306Vessel AIS Monitoring
AIS stream ingest + port-area dwell + route conformance
#307Drone Live Telemetry
Real-time drone position + flight-envelope geofence
#308Wildlife Tracking
GPS-collar trajectory ingest with home-range and movement metrics
#309Environmental Sensor Network
Air / water / noise sensor ingest with exceedance alerting and dashboards
The Math

ROI vs. manual processing

Modeled on a fleet-operations team replacing a custom Kafka + Timescale stack and MQTT broker with the platform.

MobilityDB trajectory storage as a service

Trajectory queries — "how long did this vehicle dwell in the geofence yesterday between 9am and noon?" — that crater PostGIS at scale run in sub-second on MobilityDB. We operate it for you. You hit the REST API.
