About LightMetrics
Lightmetrics is a computer vision AI platform which enhances vehicle fleet management experience for the enterprises. It gives a 360-degree view of driving behavior by providing visual context to driving data. Their managed CouchDB service wasn’t able to keep pace with their growth and was falling short on expectations. They needed a highly available,resilient and scalable DB cluster which is hosted within their AWS account.
Comprinno has been a great partner for Lightmetrics DevOps needs and we look
forward to continuing our association with them.
