About CrateDB

CrateDB is a distributed SQL database built for machine data, time-series data, and real-time analytics at scale. It combines the familiarity of SQL with the scalability of a NoSQL architecture, making it a practical choice for teams that need to query large volumes of structured and semi-structured data without giving up standard SQL syntax. If your business generates high-volume data from IoT sensors, application logs, or operational systems and you need fast query performance, CrateDB is designed for exactly that workload.

Manufacturing companies, IoT platform operators, logistics firms, and data engineering teams are among CrateDB’s core users. The database handles millions of inserts per second and supports full-text search, geospatial queries, and aggregations — all through standard SQL. It runs on-premise or in the cloud, and its distributed architecture means you can scale horizontally as your data volumes grow.

At Osher, we integrate CrateDB into data pipelines and automation workflows using n8n. That might mean feeding IoT sensor data into CrateDB for real-time monitoring, syncing operational data from multiple sources into a central CrateDB instance for reporting, or triggering alerts when query results cross defined thresholds. We built a similar real-time data pipeline for an insurance tech company processing weather data at volume.

If your team is struggling with slow queries on large datasets or needs a scalable database for time-series and machine data, our data processing and system integration teams can help you deploy and integrate CrateDB into your stack.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement CrateDB

Step 1

Process Audit

We review your current data infrastructure, query patterns, and performance bottlenecks. This identifies where CrateDB fits in your stack and which data workloads will benefit most from its distributed SQL architecture.

Step 2

Identify Automation Opportunities

We map out which data flows can be automated — sensor data ingestion, log aggregation, cross-source data consolidation, and threshold-based alerting. Each opportunity is assessed for data volume, query frequency, and business impact.

Step 3

Design Workflows

We architect the data pipeline and integration layer using n8n and CrateDB. This includes schema design, ingestion workflow logic, query-based triggers for alerts and reporting, and data transformation rules for incoming data streams.

Step 4

Implementation

We deploy CrateDB on your infrastructure, configure the database schema, and build the n8n workflows that ingest data from your sources and push query results to dashboards, alerting tools, and downstream systems.

Step 5

QA Review

We test the full data pipeline — verifying ingestion throughput, query accuracy, alerting thresholds, and downstream data delivery. Load testing ensures the setup handles your expected data volumes without performance degradation.

Step 6

Support & Maintenance

After launch, we monitor CrateDB performance and pipeline health. As your data volumes grow or new data sources come online, we scale the cluster and update the ingestion workflows to keep everything running smoothly.
