Metadata driven real-time analytics framework

A development tool executed by at least one processor in at least one computing device, comprising:

• a first editor configured to enable a user to provide a name for the real-time data analytics application;
• a second editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one payload definition that defines real-time data to be received by the real-time data analytics application;
• a third editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one reference data definition that defines reference data to be accessed by the real-time data analytics application;
• a fourth editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one query definition that defines at least one query configured to operate on the real-time data and the reference data to generate output data for the real-time analytics application;
• and
• a package generator configured to generate an application definition package that indicates the application name and includes the at least one payload definition, the at least one reference data definition, and the at least one query definition, the application definition package configured to be applied to a service framework to enable an instance of the real-time data analytics application to be deployed and be network-accessible.

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one processor circuit;
• and
• at least one memory that stores program code configured to be executed by the at least one processor circuit, the program code comprising:
• a first editor configured to enable a user to provide a name for a real-time data analytics application;
• a second editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one payload definition that defines real-time data to be received by the real-time data analytics application;
• a third editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one reference data definition that defines reference data to be accessed by the real-time data analytics application;
• a fourth editor configured to enable the user to provide at least one query definition that defines at least one query configured to operate on the real-time data and the reference data to generate output data for the real-time analytics application;
• and
• a package generator configured to generate an application definition package that indicates the application name and includes the at least one payload definition, the at least one reference data definition, and the at least one query definition, the application definition package configured to be applied to a service framework to enable an instance of the real-time data analytics application to be deployed and be network-accessible.
