Migrating a Low-Code IoT Platform Storing 20M Records/Day

Datacake, a low-code IoT platform founded by Lukas Klein and Simon Kemper in 2016, has been storing around 20 million measurements per day for about 20,000 users. The company migrated from Influx to TimescaleDB due to the latter's Postgres-nativity and compatibility with their existing knowledge base. They chose the fully managed Timescale cloud solution over self-managed TimescaleDB for its cost-effectiveness and robustness, as well as the support provided by Timescale. The migration process was smooth, with no downtime or negative impact on users. Datacake continues to utilize various features of Timescale, such as compression, insights, continuous aggregates, and high-availability replicas, to optimize their platform's performance and meet the growing demands of their enterprise customers.
