Case Study: Captura achieves faster, lower-cost data ingestion with TimescaleDB from Timescale

Skylab shrinks database from 600GB to 40GB with Timescale

Skylab, an automated photo editing company, faced significant data ingestion bottlenecks and performance issues with their previous database, InfluxDB. These challenges caused delayed dashboard updates during peak processing times and led to high operational costs, prompting them to seek a more robust solution from Timescale.

By implementing TimescaleDB, Timescale provided Skylab with a highly efficient database solution. This transition resulted in a dramatic reduction of their database size from 600GB to 40GB and a 5x reduction in operational costs, even without enabling compression. The company also achieved faster system performance while using significantly fewer resources, downsizing from a 64-core, 512GB RAM machine to a 4-core, 16GB RAM setup.
