ERstat.ca: a live national data site, built and run in-house

Real-time emergency-room wait times for hundreds of Canadian hospitals, on infrastructure we built and operate. One piece of the portfolio, and a good look at how we build.

ERstat.ca shows Canadians how long the wait is at their local emergency room, updated continuously from official provincial sources. It started as a Nova Scotia project and now covers hundreds of hospitals across the country.

We designed, built, and operate the whole thing: the data pipeline that ingests and cleans wait times, the prediction model that fills gaps where live data is thin, the edge-rendered pages that stay fast under load, and the SEO architecture that gets those pages found. It runs on Cloudflare's edge with a serverless database.

What it proves we can build

  • SEO that actually ranks. Thousands of pages found on Google nationally, the same programmatic-SEO approach we'd bring to your site.
  • Real-time data at scale. Ingesting, cleaning, and serving live data from many sources without it falling over.
  • Fast, edge-hosted infrastructure. Built on Cloudflare and AWS, the same stack we run for hundreds of production sites.
  • Built and maintained in-house. No hand-offs: the shop that built it is the shop that keeps it running.

If you need a site that gets found, a system that handles real data, or infrastructure that stays up, this is the standard we build to.
