Meshify and ScyllaDB: an Industrial-Strength IoT Solution

Meshify, a company acquired by Hartford Steam Boiler and owned by Munich RE, leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology to prevent industrial disasters by using sensors to monitor conditions like temperature and water presence, sending alerts when predefined thresholds are exceeded. At the ScyllaDB Summit 2018, Sam Kenkel, DevOps lead at Meshify, discussed their use of ScyllaDB's high-performance database to efficiently process time-series data from these sensors. Meshify prioritizes vendor neutrality and uses cloud services with drop-in replacements to ensure system reliability, employing a strategy akin to the "pets vs. cattle" analogy in cloud computing, where systems are designed for easy replacement and minimal human intervention during failures. By quickly replacing failed nodes and deploying new clusters for disaster recovery, Meshify fulfills the vision of Hartford Steam Boiler's founders to proactively avert disasters in real-time, which earned them the "Fastest Time to Production" award at the summit.
