Case Study: Clearwater Dynamics made vessel-tracking queries 100x faster with Tinybird
Key results
The challenge
Clearwater Dynamics, a maritime intelligence provider, tracks 40,000 insured vessels and processes 200 million vessel position reports daily. Queries that previously took about 15 minutes were too slow to build into real-time, user-facing functionality.
The solution
Clearwater Dynamics moved its analytics to Tinybird to power real-time vessel-tracking analytics and API-driven functionality.
“Data really is at the very core of our business and the reason we're able to regard it as a principal asset is our relationship with Tinybird.”

The results, in context
Clearwater Dynamics saw a 100x reduction in query latency, turning queries that once took about 15 minutes into ones that return in seconds. It comfortably processes 200 million vessel position reports daily and 550TB per month, serving around 600K API requests.
