Heap's Live View feature, initially developed during a hack week project, allows users to stream and filter raw data in real-time, providing both internal and customer-facing utilities. Built on existing Kafka infrastructure and Redis pub/sub functionality, Live View was initially a prototype that evolved into a robust system requiring minimal custom infrastructure. The feature facilitates real-time debugging and demonstrations by enabling dynamic event filtering. Despite early limitations like session state loss during consumer restarts and lack of monitoring, improvements such as heartbeating active sessions and leader election for redundant consumers made it more resilient. Future developments include enabling event definitions from the UI, scaling to handle increased data volumes, and possibly transitioning to a high-availability Redis cluster. The success of Live View, fostered by the creativity unleashed during Hack Week, highlights the potential of such initiatives to transform innovative ideas into valuable features.
