Holy shit, I hope whoever wrote this gets a fat bonus at the end of the year. That's a truly astounding savings.
What they don’t say is how much in developer time they’ve spent rolling their own database. Then there’s also maintenance and new features.
It's called job security, bro.
I'm sure their custom database will be easy to find people to support and maintain
It seems like features would be mainly additional key/values like temperature, humidity, etc. This wouldn't really change the underlying infrastructure greatly but still give good enhancements to certain customers.
