Optimizing Real-Time Data Ingestion and ML Models for an Intelligent Monitoring Platform to Reduce Noise
Executive Summary
The customer is the leader in AI-driven observability for DevOps and ITOps. They wanted help in managing the ingestion of real-time data at scale. As volumes of data reached terabytes, and with many third-party sources sending information in various formats, the firm could not successfully remove the background noise and extract useful intel for its varied customer base in banking, telecom, and finance. To keep its market-leading position, the customer had to constantly evolve its core platform and grow its ecosystem of integrations with third-party monitoring, analysis, and notification tools that serve changing market needs.
Crest Data worked alongside the customer to design and enhance key features like data ingestion, noise filtration, and machine learning models to resolve these operational bottlenecks. The Crest engineering team was engaged in the entire product release cycle, offering high-quality rollouts and building multiple integrations to ensure that the tool stays up-to-date with changing customer business needs. Furthermore, by extending the automation test suite with engineering assistance for key defects and patches, Crest Data helped the customer enhance product stability and maintain competitiveness in the intelligent monitoring space.
