In-memory storage of aggregated data for real-time event tracking

A method for providing real-time event tracking, the method comprising:

• receiving an inbound data event;
• processing the data event according to one or more data services;
• collecting from the one or more data services, via a dashboard service API, activity data associated with the data event, the activity data indicative of an activity definition associated with the data event;
• defining metrics and activity configuration associated with the activity data, the activity configuration provided with the inbound data event;
• aggregating and sort the activity data based at least in part on the metrics and the activity configuration associated with the activity data, the activity configuration indicative of how to aggregate the activity data for the activity associated with the data event;
• outputting the aggregated and sorted activity data to a distribution cache according to a user;
• and
• accessing the aggregated and sorted activity data in the distribution cache for generating a display of a graphical object representing real-time event tracking of the aggregated and sorted activity data in a dashboard user interface.

A computer readable storage device including computer readable instructions, which when executed by a processing unit is operative or configured to:

• receive an inbound data event;
• process the data event according to one or more data services;
• collect from the one or more data services, via a dashboard service API, activity data associated with the data event, the activity data indicative of an activity definition associated with the data event;
• define metrics and activity configuration associated with the activity data, the activity configuration provided with the inbound data event;
• aggregate and sort the activity data based at least in part on the metrics and the activity configuration associated with the activity data, the activity configuration indicative of how to aggregate the activity data for the activity associated with the data event;
• output the aggregated and sorted activity data to a distribution cache according to a user level;
• retrieve the aggregated and sorted activity data from the distribution cache;
• and
• display a graphical object representing real-time event tracking of the aggregated and sorted activity data in a dashboard user interface.
