Abra Controls, an energy company that provides wireless pressure monitoring and data aggregation solutions, needed a new database due to its legacy application's limitations. The company wanted a database that could scale with ease across different regions and zones, never fail or go down, and lower operational overhead by being PostgreSQL compatible. After researching and experimenting with several options, Abra Controls chose YugabyteDB for its high availability features and familiar PostgreSQL syntax. The company implemented a cloud IoT application using YugabyteDB Managed, which collects and aggregates massive amounts of sensor data from hydraulic fracturing sites and provides real-time monitoring and visualization. With YugabyteDB Managed, Abra Controls achieved high performance and high availability while scaling out its database to handle increasing data volumes.
