Case Study: PipelineFX achieves minute-level metered billing and optimized render-farm utilization with InfluxData

PipelineFX - Customer Case Study

PipelineFX, maker of the Qube! render-management SaaS, helps studios and teams run highly variable, bursty rendering workloads. Their challenge was to let customers scale to meet tight deadlines without buying unused perpetual licenses, bill accurately at minute-level granularity, and optimize server and license provisioning to avoid costly over‑ or under‑capacity.

PipelineFX deployed Telegraf collectors and InfluxCloud to capture per‑minute usage and system metrics (with MySQL handling relational billing data), buffering and uploading data reliably for dashboards and reports. The solution enabled minute-precision metered billing, real‑time customer visibility and remote troubleshooting, improved ROI for customers, and more efficient infrastructure planning for PipelineFX.
