UK Macro Monitor

A database-free monitor for UK data from the ONS, Bank of England, and OBR.

Visit project

UK Macro Monitor brings public data from the Office for National Statistics, Bank of England, and Office for Budget Responsibility into one dashboard. The app maps unlike feeds into a consistent internal schema before they reach the interface.

There is no database. The app fetches the required series from APIs and published files, normalises them on the server, and uses Next.js revalidation and Vercel caching. A small Bloomberg rail shows timestamps, headlines, and outbound links without reproducing the articles.

Coverage

  • Live UK macro indicators from ONS, including inflation, labour market, output, trade, and public finance data
  • Bank of England integration for policy rates, gilt yields, and mortgage pricing
  • OBR forecast integration parsed from official published workbooks
  • A shared internal format for series from different sources
  • Database-free deployment on Vercel
  • Source-level fault isolation so one feed can fail without breaking the full monitor
  • A compact Bloomberg headline stream for market context
  • A glossary and definitions for each indicator

Stack

Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Vercel serverless functions, route handlers, structured API adapters, and source-aware caching.
