SkyElectric Uses ScyllaDB’s NoSQL Database to Scale Its Smart Energy Platform

SkyElectric, a company addressing unstable power grids in developing countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nigeria, utilizes ScyllaDB's NoSQL database to enhance its smart energy platform's performance and scalability. Initially, SkyElectric faced challenges with MySQL as their data needs grew rapidly, leading them to explore Apache Cassandra and Riak TS before settling on ScyllaDB due to its operational ease, speed, and scalability without the need for extensive tuning. Their transition to ScyllaDB resulted in significant performance improvements, with query times reduced from minutes to milliseconds, and allowed the team to focus on developing additional features such as a search engine and a states engine. The company, which engineers all its products in-house and provides continuous monitoring for its customers, plans international expansion and attributes much of its operational peace of mind to the reliability and support offered by ScyllaDB, thereby ensuring 24/7 sustainable and affordable energy availability.
