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. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
