  Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are bright enigmatic radio pulses of roughly
millisecond duration that come from extragalactic distances. As part of the
MeerTRAP project, we use the MeerKAT telescope array in South Africa to search
for and localise those bursts to high precision in real-time. We aim to
pinpoint FRBs to their host galaxies and, thereby, to understand how they are
created. However, the transient nature of FRBs presents various challenges,
e.g. in system design, raw compute power and real-time communication, where the
real-time requirements are reasonably strict (a few tens of seconds). Rapid
data processing is essential for us to be able to retain high-resolution data
of the bursts, to localise them, and to minimise the delay for follow-up
observations. We give a short overview of the data analysis pipeline, describe
the challenges faced, and elaborate on our initial design and implementation of
a real-time triggering infrastructure for FRBs at the MeerKAT telescope.
