Overview

SAKURA internet is a leading internet infrastructure service provider for businesses and individuals in Japan.

Company and use case

SAKURA Internet is a leading Japanese cloud and internet service provider offering comprehensive hosting solutions and data center services. They support a wide range of industries with their cloud computing, dedicated servers, and IoT platform services. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, SAKURA Internet ensures reliable and scalable infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of their clients, from startups to large enterprises.

Performance problems to solve

SAKURA Internet faced challenges in managing and analyzing large volumes of time-series data generated from their IoT and cloud services. Their existing database solutions struggled with the high ingestion rates and complex queries required for real-time analytics. This led to performance bottlenecks, slow query responses, and increased maintenance overhead, impacting their ability to provide timely insights and robust services to their customers.

Performance gains unlocked

With the implementation of TimescaleDB, SAKURA Internet significantly enhanced their data management capabilities. TimescaleDB's efficient time-series data handling, automatic partitioning, and continuous aggregates enabled faster data ingestion and query performance. This allowed SAKURA Internet to deliver real-time analytics and improved reliability, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing customer satisfaction. The transition to TimescaleDB supported their mission of providing high-quality, scalable internet services and staying ahead in the competitive cloud and IoT market.

Compression ratio is jaw-droppingly high. When compressing a single hypertable in Timescale, we receive 77 GB of compressed data from 1396 GB of uncompressed data. That is 94% compression ratio.
