Case Study: ido-data achieves life-saving real-time GPS alerting with Rockset

Rockset’s real-time SQL on Amazon DynamoDB enables lifesaving IoT alerting device

Ido-data, a French connected‑devices company that builds waterproof GPS wristbands to help rescuers locate water‑sports participants, needed real‑time analysis of beacon geolocation data stored in Amazon DynamoDB to power life‑saving alerts. Building SQL-capable, low‑latency queries over DynamoDB with traditional ETL and provisioning would have taken months and introduced unacceptable delays, so Ido-data turned to Rockset’s real‑time SQL on DynamoDB to meet millisecond‑latency requirements.

Rockset implemented a serverless real‑time database that consumes DynamoDB Streams, automatically builds indexes (including for geospatial queries), and exposes full SQL via a REST endpoint. With Rockset, Ido-data deployed its application in hours instead of weeks, runs millisecond queries, and shortened development time from months to days while retaining serverless scale, encryption, and GDPR compliance—enabling faster delivery of life‑saving alerting features.
