Case Study: Bonito Tech achieves scalable real-time GPS analytics with TimescaleDB

Bonito Tech is a custom software development company in the Philippines, using TimescaleDB to power real-time analytics for its public transportation tracking system, Sakai.

Bonito Tech, a Philippines-based software company, needed a better way to manage the fast-growing real-time GPS data powering its Sakai public transportation app. Using TimescaleDB from Timescale, they aimed to overcome PostgreSQL performance bottlenecks, especially around querying and archiving data from thousands of vehicles sending location updates every 10 seconds.

With TimescaleDB, Timescale helped Bonito Tech improve query performance, automate data retention, simplify scaling, and reduce manual intervention in archiving. The solution also streamlined integration with Google Cloud infrastructure, enabling Bonito Tech to handle billions of time-series data points more efficiently and focus more on analytics and service improvements.
