Case Study: True Digital Group flattens COVID-19 contact tracing with SingleStore

SingleStore Powers True Digital Group’s Effort to Flatten the Curve of COVID-19

True Digital Group, the digital arm of Thailand’s leading telecommunications provider, needed a way to automate contact tracing and monitor COVID-19 spread at scale. To support the Thai government, the company had to analyze real-time location data from more than 30 million mobile phones and 500,000 anonymous location events per second, with millisecond-latency geoanalytic queries and access to both recent and historical data. SingleStore was chosen to power this real-time, interactive analytics workload through its database platform.

SingleStore enabled True Digital Group to build its Tracepulse application in just one week, delivering a real-time visualization and alerting system for identifying population density and potential gathering hotspots. The solution supports highly concurrent dashboard queries, drill-down geoanalysis, and streaming ingestion of anonymized location data into a system that can help authorities respond faster and place resources more effectively. SingleStore’s performance made it possible to turn raw location data into actionable, in-the-moment insights for Thailand’s COVID-19 response.
