- MongoDB could not handle increasing volumes of event data
- Operating and managing MongoDB at scale was time-consuming
- Switching to Cassandra proved to be expensive and required significant operational resources
- Apache Cassandra delivered poor latency in the 3-5 second range at scale for the given workload
- Existing data infrastructure was unable to support the projected 75+ billion operations per day and 85+ TBs of data required in 2020
Plume powers millions of smart homes that generate over 27 billion operations per day handled by YugabyteDB
