Real-time patterns

This integration pattern builds on ArcGIS real-time capabilities, delivered through ArcGIS Velocity as SaaS or in ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows and Linux environments. ArcGIS Velocity is designed to connect to external data sources and query results or receive results pushed from another system. This can be a useful integration pattern to pull external datasets into ArcGIS, either filtered or enriched with other attributes or spatial information.

ArcGIS Velocity supports connections to a variety of feed types, including Kafka, MQTT and RSS feeds.

Integration patterns in ArcGIS

ArcGIS Velocity supports real-time integration patterns to ArcGIS Online as an optional add-on. It is also available with ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows and Linux.

Best practices

  • Integrations built with ArcGIS Velocity do not need to process feeds or events in real-time, but can be scheduled to poll for changes or process sets of data on a regular interval, depending on the frequency and immediacy requirements of a given integration.

  • While ArcGIS Velocity can access and process large volumes of data, be careful to store only the data elements that are required, to avoid building up an unnecessarily-large archive of data or storing unnecessary attributes.

Note:

ArcGIS GeoEvent Server is being deprecated with its final release planned for ArcGIS Enterprise 12.3. This deprecation is driven by the release of ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise, which offers enhanced performance and a modern user experience. Customers currently using ArcGIS GeoEvent Server must begin planning their transition to ArcGIS Velocity. Learn more in the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server Deprecation Notice.
