Case Study: Edison Interactive cuts API latency by 250x with HarperDB

Edison Interactive - Customer Case Study

Edison Interactive, a technology partner managing content for connected devices across various industries, faced significant latency issues with its API calls, which could take up to five seconds. This delay hindered real-time decision-making for its hardware and machine learning algorithms, negatively impacting the end user experience. To address this challenge, they partnered with HarperDB to leverage its distributed application and data platform.

HarperDB's solution utilized its Custom Functions to deploy Edison Interactive's Launchpad application on a distributed architecture, specifically on Verizon's multi-access edge computing platform. This implementation resulted in a dramatic 250x increase in API call speed, reducing latency from five seconds to just twenty milliseconds. The solution also reduced calls to the origin API cache by 99%, greatly lowering data transfer costs and providing a significant competitive advantage through real-time user experience control.
