LeoLabs operates a global ground-based radar network tracking over 27,000 objects in low Earth orbit, generating 600 million lines of telemetry data per day. To handle this scale, they adopted InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated alongside Telegraf for data ingestion, NetBox, and Ansible for configuration management. The setup enables ~1,000 alert rules with sub-30-second firing times, supports predictive maintenance via machine learning on years of historical telemetry, and allows a lean engineering team to maintain continuous visibility into radar health across multiple geographies without managing database infrastructure themselves.
