How Flogistix by Flowco Reduced Infrastructure Management Costs by 66% with Tiger Data

Danny Burrows, Vice President of Software Engineering at Flogistix by Flowco, discusses the company's successful implementation of Tiger Data's time-series Postgres solution, which significantly improved data handling and reduced infrastructure management costs by 66% in their oil and gas vapor recovery operations. The innovative use of Tiger Data, powered by TimescaleDB on AWS, addressed challenges related to siloed operational and IT data by optimizing the ingestion of approximately 100 data points per minute from a fleet of 3,700 pieces of equipment. This solution provided a robust data architecture that featured efficient data rolloff, compression, and continuous aggregates, resulting in enhanced query performance, data reliability, and cost efficiency. With these improvements, Flogistix achieved 84% data compression and boosted data reliability from about 95% to over 99%, allowing for more responsive field service operations and strategic decision-making. Looking ahead, the company plans to further refine its data management strategies and explore new data tiering strategies to support ongoing growth and operational demands.
