Case Study: Copenhagen Atomics achieves real-time reactor monitoring with QuestDB

Copenhagen Atomics trusts QuestDB for real-time monitoring

Copenhagen Atomics, a manufacturer of next-generation molten salt reactors, needed a reliable way to monitor thorium reactor sensors in real time and detect anomalies quickly. The company turned to QuestDB, using its open-source time-series database to ingest and query high-frequency sensor data from thousands of readings every 10 milliseconds.

QuestDB powers Copenhagen Atomics’ monitoring stack on Azure and Kubernetes, supporting real-time ingestion via the .NET ILP client and fast downsampled queries for custom plot systems. With QuestDB, the team can visualize reactor data in milliseconds, handle over 100,000 sensors live, and scale their architecture for future growth while benefiting from strong performance and responsive support.
