Case Study: Digital Domain achieves real-time VR performance monitoring with Crate.io (CrateDB & Grafana)
A Crate.io Case Study
Developing Performance Monitoring for Large-Scale Virtual Reality Service Using CrateDB and Grafana
Digital Domain, a global leader in visual effects and immersive virtual reality experiences, needed real-time monitoring for its cloud streaming infrastructure to protect uptime, audio/video sync, latency and overall content fidelity. To build an economical, high-resolution monitoring system they chose Crate.io technologies — deploying CrateDB alongside Grafana to capture and visualize high-volume time-series metrics for their SAGE monitoring platform.
Crate.io’s CrateDB stores heartbeat and metrics at 1‑second intervals (about 1 GB/day), while Grafana provides synchronized, drill-down visualizations that update instantly across resolutions. The solution gave the whole team easy, SQL-based dashboard queries for faster troubleshooting and ad‑hoc analysis, improved responsiveness to new requirements, and a concrete, scalable pipeline that can be extended to streaming log analytics.
