Case Study: Lightning eMotors achieves scalable real-time fleet analytics with Tessell

Lightning eMotors Managing 100% y/y Data Growth With Tessell

Lightning eMotors, a manufacturer of zero-emission commercial fleet vehicles, faced a critical challenge after a fire near its data center threatened its on-premises MySQL database. The company needed to urgently migrate and upgrade its 5 TB database to the cloud but lacked the in-house skills to manage it. They required a highly available, scalable, and secure DBaaS solution to support real-time analytics for their growing fleet of vehicles and their customers.

Tessell provided its managed database service, enabling a seamless cloud migration and offering high performance at a lower cost than other solutions. The implementation provided Lightning eMotors with a zero-data-loss architecture featuring 15-day point-in-time recovery, ensuring business continuity. With Tessell, the company can now effortlessly manage its IoT dataset, which is growing 100% year-over-year, and securely share real-time analytics with customers.
