Real-time monitoring of the 119th United States Congress, providing legislative intelligence at your fingertips.

Overwatch is a legislative intelligence platform designed to provide real-time monitoring and archival of roll call data for the 119th United States Congress. The challenge was to create a system that could synchronize data across 435 district nodes while ensuring accuracy and reliability in the reporting of legislative measures.

To address this, we developed a robust architecture capable of handling live feeds and historical data efficiently. The platform was built to support real-time updates and maintain a seamless user experience, allowing users to access crucial legislative information as it unfolds.

The outcome was a powerful tool that not only tracks legislative measures but also archives historical data, making it an invaluable resource for stakeholders interested in congressional activities. Overwatch stands as a testament to our commitment to delivering precise and actionable legislative intelligence.
