Case Study: Electric Brain achieves scalable real-time container tracking with TimescaleDB and Tiger Cloud

Electric Brain delivers cutting-edge backend, cloud, and AI solutions, empowering startups with scalable architectures powered by TimescaleDB

Electric Brain, a French development studio focused on backend prototyping, cloud architecture, data, and AI solutions, needed a scalable and maintainable way to build a data ingestion and access system for SeaTrackBox, an IoT platform for tracking lost shipping containers. The challenge was handling high volumes of time-series and geospatial data while supporting complex queries without performance bottlenecks, using TimescaleDB and Tiger Cloud from Timescale.

Timescale helped Electric Brain build a high-performance architecture with TimescaleDB, PostGIS, and Tiger Cloud to manage temporal and spatial data efficiently. The solution improved data ingestion, boosted query performance, simplified cloud infrastructure management, and scaled smoothly as demand grew, reducing system complexity for startup teams.
