Pieter Morgan founded Hammerhead in 2013 to address the inadequacies he experienced with existing cycling technology during a coast-to-coast ride across the USA. The company's flagship product, Karoo 2, is an advanced Android-based cycling computer, which offers real-time data and predictive path technology to enhance the cycling experience. To support Karoo 2's functionality, Hammerhead selected Couchbase Mobile as its database solution for its high performance, scalability, offline capabilities, and seamless data synchronization. This choice allows Hammerhead to offer a competitive edge with features such as bidirectional cloud sync through AWS, linking Karoo to platforms like Strava and TrainingPeaks for enhanced data evaluation and community engagement. Couchbase's technology ensures that Hammerhead's platform can scale effectively, supporting frequent software updates and providing a reliable experience for cyclists without internet access.
