If it were me, I'd start with Geotab's developer api for programmatically tapping into the feeds of near real time vehicle movement, combined with ESRI's python api for creating and updating feature services on Arconline. I bet you could get near real time if you run the updates fairly frequently, like maybe once or twice a minute, depending on your needs. Source: 11 months ago
If you are used to Python and Jupyter Notebooks, you should definately get your hands dirty with https://developers.arcgis.com/python/. Source: about 1 year ago
Have you looked at ArcGIS API for Python? It's not the same as arcpy, but used more for working with Esri's portals. Source: about 1 year ago
We are very heavy into using the ESRI suite of tools and which languages I use depend heavily on the project I am working on. I would say I mostly use Python, but mainly with the ArGIS API for Python, not arcpy. I do use quite a bit of javascript to develop UIs for widgets as well, but that is not anywhere near as common.

Once you have your foundation, then https://developers.arcgis.com/python/ and https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/arcgis-add-ins-and-automation/arcpy/ become much easier to understand. Also be aware that you can run Geoprocessing Tools in ArcGIS Desktop and in the Geoprocessing History, copy out the Python snippets to add to your code and automate. Source: over 1 year ago
