Case Study: Abra Controls achieves real-time, scalable sensor data ingestion with YugabyteDB Managed

Abra Controls ingests millions of data points into Yugabyte Cloud every day to help oil and gas companies operate more efficiently in the field

Abra Controls, a provider of pressure monitoring and data aggregation solutions for hydraulic fracturing operations, needed an enterprise‑grade, PostgreSQL‑compatible database for a new permanent SaaS application. Facing customer-driven demand and massive IoT sensor ingestion, Abra Controls required horizontal scalability, high availability, strong data integrity, long‑term storage, and minimal operational overhead, so they selected YugabyteDB Managed.

YugabyteDB deployed a fully managed, 3‑node, Multi‑AZ YugabyteDB cluster on GCP (4 cores/node), enabling Abra Controls to ingest millions of data points daily while delivering >1,700 transactions per second, a 630 GB dataset, <3 ms read latency and <10 ms write latency. YugabyteDB reduced the operational burden through PostgreSQL compatibility and resilient scaling, allowing Abra Controls to concentrate on gas‑flow analytics and field services.
