In short

Graphiant leverages Apache Kafka on Confluent Cloud to ingest and process continuous telemetry and performance metrics generated by network edge devices. This fully managed approach accommodates shifting data volumes while removing the administrative overhead of self-hosted data pipelines. Streamed metrics feed into TimescaleDB and StarTree-managed Apache Pinot, enabling real-time alerting, traffic analysis, and customer dashboards. As a result, the 2020-founded company can expand its production capacity seamlessly as its customer footprint grows.
