What do you like best about the product?

The onboarding process to create an account and get a cloud cluster running was very easy and fast. I also like how they use Postgresql under the hood so you dont have to learn a new language. Integratio via javascript and python with sqlalchemy makes it easy to test and deploy production applications.

What do you dislike about the product?

The Admin dashboard's UI can be improved. Also, there is currently no way to control the database sharding.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CrateDB will play a key role in managing time series data for tracking energy consumption patterns in real-time for my Utilities client. In this use case, CrateDB allows me to store and analyze massive amounts of energy meter readings, taken at frequent intervals across various locations. Its ability to handle continuous streams of data and execute complex queries quickly ensures that I can provide real-time insights into consumption trends. This helps in optimizing energy usage, forecasting demand, and identifying inefficiencies, ultimately driving cost savings and operational improvements for the business.
