Obviously, you have to make the decisions about what is best for your application, but I would suggest that ZMQ is for communicating data; what you do with it after you receive it is outside the scope of that.
What you may find useful is a polling loop (see https://pyzmq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/zmq.html#polling <https://pyzmq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/zmq.html#polling>). That way, you can service your subscriber sockets and have a timing mechanism to deal with time-based decisions.

However, in my application, the client who's subscribing is making decisions based on the data collected during a small amount of time. Ideally, it would collect data for 1 sec then make a decision(during the decision-making period it would still be collecting data for the next decision), so I'm thinking that I can publish data into a buffer then grab all the data in there at a certain rate.
