Case Study: Eurotech cuts database costs with Pythian’s Apache Cassandra migration

Eurotech maintains 100% database uptime with Pythian

Eurotech, a global leader in high-performance IoT solutions, faced escalating licensing costs and performance bottlenecks with its mission-critical DataStax Enterprise database. These challenges strained their operating budget and restricted their senior DevOps teams, who spent excessive hours on manual troubleshooting. Pythian was engaged to address these issues.

Pythian migrated Eurotech’s database environment from DataStax Enterprise to open-source Apache Cassandra. This transition completely eliminated proprietary licensing fees. Pythian implemented open-source automation tools for maintenance and a custom monitoring solution using Prometheus and Grafana. The results included 100% database uptime during the migration of 112 optimized production nodes across four clusters, which freed Eurotech's internal teams to focus on product innovation.
