Android Question [SOLVED] Best way do update a server every minute.

I have a server running PHP.
I need to build an application for mobotoy (B4A), which updates the driver's position every minute. This position will be consulted through a php/javascript page that also updates every minute to show the driver's position on the map.

What's the best way?
I think about making a post through the app every minute sending the driver's position.
I will have around 20 drivers active at the same time.
What bottlenecks should I think about?
Would a very powerful server be needed for this application?

Hi @jroriz,

I think 20 updates at the same time is very low concurrency considering a small transaction (location).
Take a look at this thread.

Note:
I have a mobile location monitoring platform on the PHP server (Rest Full API) and B4X App on the phones of product dispatchers (600 mobile phones), which send their position every 30 seconds.
all in one web hosting with PHP and MARIADB
works very well
