Case Study: Fracttal achieves 10‑fold growth and streamlined PostgreSQL management with Microsoft Azure (Azure Database for PostgreSQL)

Chilean IoT firm reports 10-fold growth, streamlines PostgreSQL management with Azure solutions

Fracttal, a Santiago-based industrial IoT provider, needed a reliable cloud platform that would preserve its investments in open-source software—especially PostgreSQL—while supporting rapid growth. After a year on AWS, the company wanted better support, high availability, and to stop spending core engineering time on database administration as it scaled from startup to a more established company.

Fracttal migrated to Microsoft Azure and Azure Database for PostgreSQL, gaining managed Postgres features (automated backups, flexible replication, fast recovery), closer support from Microsoft, and integration with services like Azure Machine Learning. The move freed the team to focus on application development, opened new customer opportunities, and helped drive 10× growth over two years without hiring additional cloud infrastructure staff.
