Traconiq, a company specializing in managing logistics for complex vehicle fleets, faced increasing costs and operational challenges with Amazon RDS as their telemetry dataset grew to multiple terabytes. The costs of maintaining separate RDS instances across multiple regions and environments, as well as the static nature of RDS storage and compute, became prohibitive. Traconiq transitioned to Neon, a fully managed Postgres platform that separates storage and compute, allowing for branching and autoscaling to match actual workload demands. This change enabled Traconiq to eliminate the need for multiple RDS instances, optimize costs by scaling compute according to daytime spikes and nighttime lulls, and improve recovery times with Neon's branching capabilities. Additionally, they migrated a geo lookup service, benefiting from concurrent branch operations that would have been cost-prohibitive with RDS.
