Media and entertainment companies generate massive volumes of data — from streaming metrics, user interactions, and social engagement, to content performance and ad analytics. CrateDB helps harness all of it in real time, enabling smarter decisions, better experiences, and faster innovation.

Bitmovin is a leading video streaming company. They use CrateDB to store 140 terabytes of storage, both user events and user interactions. Every day, there is one billion of new lines of data, with the largest tables containing around 60 billion playback events.

"It is through the use of CrateDB that we are able to offer our large-scale video analytics component in the first place. Comparable products are either not capable of handling the large flood of data or they are simply too expensive."

Digital domain is a global leader in visual effects, interactive content and creating “virtual humans” for use in films and live events. Rather than use a commercial monitoring system, they chose to build their own performance monitoring solution. They use CrateDB to process a lot of system metrics data (time series) in real time and to support streaming log analytics, which required search capability.

"I'm glad it's SQL behind those charts. If I had to use Elasticsearch to answer new questions, we wouldn't be nearly as responsive to new requirements."
