Case Study: Row44 achieves reliable DevOps backup monitoring and easy time‑series data access with InfluxData (InfluxDB)

Row44 - Customer Case Study

Row 44 provides satellite-based in-flight broadband for commercial aircraft, delivering passenger Wi-Fi, in-flight entertainment, and operational data for cockpit and crew. When their primary commercial monitoring system failed during critical incidents, they needed a reliable backup to ensure visibility into operations and rapid troubleshooting.

Row 44 built a custom DevOps monitoring stack using Telegraf, InfluxDB and plans to add Chronograf. InfluxDB gave them fast, low‑maintenance time-series storage without shoehorning data into a relational database, providing a simple, dependable backup monitoring solution that kicks in when the “big‑bucks” system goes down.
