About Foundries.io

Foundries.io offers the first complete Edge-Platform-as-a-Service (EPaaS) for building, deploying, managing, and connecting edge and IoT devices. Use cases include robotic vacuums, electric scooters, and smart shipping containers. Facing rapid growth, Foundries.io realized its MariaDB database couldn’t scale fast enough. To avoid failure, Foundries.io switched to Couchbase for superior scalability, usability, performance, and ease of management.

Story highlights

  • Couchbase delivered 100x better performance and scalability and error rate previously caused by database scale issues dropped significantly
  • An issue that was expected to take 6 months and $100K to address was solved much faster at a substantially lower cost
  • Engineers can now focus on building additional features instead of managing the database
“Working with Couchbase has been much easier, we no longer have to worry about database migration. It’s at least 100x more scalable than we were previously and the number of errors we get has dramatically reduced. It’s better in every way.”
Andy Doan, Principal Software Engineer, Foundries.io
