Case Study: Katana achieves instant analytics and 60% sales growth with Aiven

Katana drives 60% sales growth with Aiven

Katana, a provider of an end-to-end inventory management platform, faced challenges with slow analytics and reporting as its customer base expanded into high-volume e-commerce. Queries for customer dashboards were taking up to an hour, hindering real-time visibility. To support its growth, Katana needed to evolve its data infrastructure for better performance and concurrency, building upon its existing use of Aiven for Apache Kafka.

By implementing Aiven for ClickHouse, Katana created a unified analytics layer that consolidates data from its many microservices and external integrations. This solution dramatically accelerated query times from an hour to seconds, enabling real-time insights. The performance gains helped Katana's customers achieve a 21% increase in inventory turnover and a 60% increase in year-over-year sales. Aiven's reliable platform also allowed Katana to streamline its engineering efforts and focus on innovation.
