It's easy to build real-time data-driven visualisations, or add analytics to your existing applications. We provide a hosted back-end with analytics capabilities, into which you can load your data via a RESTful API, or from Amazon S3.

The simplest way to start is to load in a dataset from a csv and fork our example Datacube visualisation on Github, it's written entirely in js and provided as open source under the GPL2 license.
