Summary

Hopthru, a company that aims to make public transport the most compelling mode of urban travel, uses TimescaleDB to power real-time transit analytics from a 1 TB data table. The team at Hopthru helps transit agencies analyze and make data-driven decisions to improve public transportation. They use Timescale's hypertables and continuous aggregates features to reduce query times significantly. With managed services like Timescale for AWS, developers can focus on building the application rather than managing infrastructure.
