Case Study: an agricultural technology company achieves reliable IoT performance with Planit

How performance engineering helped achieve speed and reliability for a smart ear tag and data platform

An agricultural technology company, a leader in livestock innovation with its smart ear tag and data platform, faced significant performance engineering challenges due to the complex Internet-of-Things (IoT) nature of its solution. With user and data volume expected to grow by over 700% and 2,998% respectively, the company needed a trusted testing partner to ensure its platform could scale reliably. They engaged Planit to mitigate risks and validate the system's performance ahead of a major launch.

Planit implemented a customized, scalable performance testing framework using tools like Apache JMeter and Azure DevOps. Their solution identified and resolved a critical database concurrency issue, ensured robust performance under high load, and optimized the system to achieve a throughput of 0.29 successful requests per second and an average user experience of 1.3 seconds. The engagement provided the company with the confidence to launch and a continuous performance testing model to support future global growth.
