EDCD/EDDI — Companion application for Elite Dangerous

Description and use

EDDI (E:D Data Interface) is an open‑source companion application for the space simulation game Elite Dangerous. It runs as a backend service that collects real‑time flight data, processes it, and provides APIs, web dashboards and integrations for third‑party tools, allowing pilots to monitor ship status, route planning, and in‑game events. The project is community‑driven, extensible via plugins, and designed to run continuously alongside the game.

Problem

EDCD/EDDI helps teams reuse service infrastructure instead of rebuilding common backend pieces.

Outcome

Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.

Workflow

• ship API services faster
• reuse backend infrastructure
• standardize service patterns
