A leading transport and logistics company needed to improve the read and write latency of their electronic radio frequency system, which relies on a low-latency read to a relational database. They migrated from Oracle to PostgreSQL but faced significant latency issues. To address this, they chose YugabyteDB, a distributed version of PostgreSQL that can accommodate a hybrid deployment model, lower latency, and run the existing application without an expensive rewrite. The company deployed YugabyteDB as a stretch cluster across three regions, implementing tablespaces, locality-optimized workloads, and row-level geo-partitioning to reduce latencies. These features enabled the addition of a new column to tables that defaults to the user's assigned region automatically, allowing data to be stored in its corresponding region without modifying the application. The company was pleased with the streamlined solution, achieving lower latency and superior resiliency compared to PostgreSQL and Oracle.
