Summary

Cuboh, a restaurant-tech company, was facing "delivery-processing hell" due to its SaaS platform's inability to handle large volumes of orders efficiently. To address this challenge, the team sought a robust solution for ledger-based reporting, exploring options like Kafka before settling on Cube, an open-sourced and self-managed platform that provided low latency requests, near-real-time reporting, and caching capabilities. Cuboh successfully implemented Cube, reducing report generation time from minutes to seconds and lowering hosting costs by 80%. The company's experience highlights the benefits of using Cube for data modeling, access control, and caching needs, with a user-friendly configuration process and opportunities for community support.
