Company and Use Case

Edeva is a Swedish company that specializes in innovative traffic solutions for municipalities and governments. Their flagship product, Actibump, is a dynamic speed bump that controls traffic speed in real time by reacting to vehicles’ speeds. Edeva needed a robust system to manage real-time and historical IoT data collected from traffic sensors, radar systems, and cameras, ensuring smooth data processing and storage scalability across various global projects.

Performance Problems to Solve

Edeva faced challenges with managing vast amounts of time-series data from their road safety systems. Using MongoDB for data storage, they experienced issues with onboarding developers, costly scalability, and complex upgrades. They required a solution that could handle high-speed data ingestion while ensuring reliable, real-time data presentation and efficient long-term data storage.

Performance Gains Unlocked

With Timescale, Edeva significantly enhanced their system's performance by leveraging Timescale’s continuous aggregations and compression features. Query times dropped from 30 seconds to nearly instantaneous, and storage costs were reduced thanks to efficient data compression. Timescale’s seamless integration with PostgreSQL allowed Edeva to simplify their system architecture while maintaining scalability and ease of use for developers, resulting in smoother real-time data analysis and cost-effective long-term data management.
