REAL-TIME DATA PROCESSINGNDA

Deterministic real-time backend for continuous data streams

Anonymised case study

Due to a non-disclosure agreement, we can't share the client name or project name. What you read here is the description of a real delivered project — anonymised.

01

Background

A European IoT company processed real-time sensor data. The platform initially grew quickly, but the processing logic had been built ad-hoc: every new customer got customisations, and the async pipelines became complexly intertwined. Their support team was firefighting weekly, and they were losing customer trust over inexplicable data discrepancies.

Problem → Solution

Problem

Async updates created inconsistent data states with unpredictable production behaviour.

Solution

A rule-based, deterministic processing engine with strict validation — predictable output for every input.

03

Approach

We re-architected the entire processing logic as a rule-based, event-driven system. The key insight: every input must have a deterministic output, regardless of processing order. The migration was gradual — old and new pipelines ran side-by-side for validation, and we only switched traffic when the new system matched or exceeded the old in correctness.

Outcome

Traffic on the same infrastructure

0

Data inconsistencies since launch

~50%

Support escalations cut (month 1)

Data inconsistencies are gone; the system handles continuous load stably.

05

Operations

LIVE

24/7 production operations, Firebase infra management, deployment automation and incident response.

Get in touch

Let's understand the problem before we build the solution.

Tell us whether an existing business-critical system is holding you back or you are creating a new complex platform. In a 30-minute conversation we identify the right first engagement and whether we are a fit.

Best fit: multiple roles or tenants, critical integrations, sensitive data, complex business logic, long-term evolution, or direct business impact when the system is unavailable.
You do not need to work out in advance which side your job belongs to. Describe the goal — if Clever Goat Studio is the better fit, we will point you there.
