Live Data Streaming


A live mirror of your fleet, in your own cloud​

If you're running serious analytics, polling an API on a timer gets old fast. So for larger customers we offer something better: we push your data to you, continuously, the moment it lands. Every new observation from your devices is streamed straight into your own AWS account in near real time — a live mirror of your entire fleet that you own, control and can build on however you like.

You don't have to build a pipeline, manage a queue, or babysit a server. We've already done the hard part. You install one small stack we give you, and the data starts flowing.

How it works​

Under the hood it's an AWS Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream on our side, writing across accounts into a bucket on yours. The clever bit is that the data only ever flows into your account — we never hold a copy of your keys, and you never have to hand us yours.

                                                          │  └─ S3 bucket (your data)│
                                                          └─────────────────────────┘

What you do (it's not much)​

We send you a small CloudFormation template. When you deploy it into your AWS account it sets up exactly two things:

  1. An S3 bucket — this is where your live data lands. It lives in your account, under your control, subject to your own policies, encryption and lifecycle rules.
  2. A tightly-scoped cross-account role — this is what lets our streaming service write into that bucket and nothing else. It's least-privilege by design: write access to your data bucket, full stop. No read access to the rest of your account, no surprises.

Deploy the stack, tell us your account is ready, and we connect our end. That's genuinely it.

What you get​

  • Near real-time data — observations arrive as they're reported, not on a polling schedule.
  • Data you own — it lands in your bucket, in your account, in your region. Plug it straight into Athena, Glue, Redshift, a data lake, or your own ETL.
  • No infrastructure to run — the streaming pipeline is ours to operate and keep healthy. You just consume what shows up.
  • Secure by construction — cross-account access is one-directional and scoped to a single bucket. Your keys stay yours; ours stay ours.

Get it switched on​

Streaming is a managed service we set up per customer. Email support@monkeytronics.co.nz with the AWS account and region you'd like your data delivered to, and we'll send the CloudFormation template and walk you through it. If you'd also like on-demand access for interactive bits and pieces, pair it with API Access.
