Summary

InfluxDB Cloud was chosen by Sudokrew, a Hawaii-based full stack development shop and software consultancy, to develop a clean energy storage device management and battery intelligence software solution for Blue Planet Energy. The solution required a time series database that could scale with increasing devices and registers, support an HTTP API, basic aggregation methods, and provide dedicated hosting. InfluxDB Cloud was selected due to its ability to scale, support APIs, and provide a hosted solution. Sudokrew deployed InfluxDB Cloud and integrated it with eGauge devices, which provided the data for the energy storage unit management system. The solution enabled Blue Planet Energy to manage sales, deploy devices, monitor energy usage, and provide a unified infrastructure to connect every user and vertical of the business. With InfluxDB Cloud, Sudokrew gained visibility into their servers, transparency, and control over how the data was handled, which led to improved customer relationships and data-driven decision-making.
