Case Study: Everactive achieves scalable IoT data processing with Aiven for Apache Kafka

Everactive relies on Aiven for IoT data

Everactive, a provider of batteryless IoT technology, needed a way to move huge volumes of sensor data without having to manage the infrastructure itself. Their early pipeline ran into performance and automation issues as the company grew, and they needed a scalable, fault-tolerant, managed solution. They turned to Aiven for Apache Kafka® to support their expanding IoT data needs.

With Aiven, Everactive built a managed Kafka-based data pipeline that ingests sensor data, routes it to PostgreSQL for retrieval, and powers additional services through connectors and microservices. The result was stronger automation, better observability, and improved security and reliability. Aiven helped Everactive cut sensor signal checking time from 5 minutes to 1 second, eliminate performance bottlenecks, and give engineers more time to focus on core product development.
