About The Customer
1NCE is a pure-play IoT connectivity provider founded in 2017, aiming to simplify IoT deployments by addressing common pain points such as network coverage, connectivity costs, and device management. They offer a flat-rate pricing model, providing access to a global network supported by Deutsche Telekom and its partners. This allows for easy deployment of smart devices across various applications, including AR/VR headsets, smart energy meters, and tracking devices for fleet management. With a digital and cloud-native platform hosted on AWS, 1NCE supports over 10 million devices in more than 100 countries, serving over 7,000 customers.
The Challenge
1NCE faced challenges in providing real-time analytics for their IoT data using Amazon DynamoDB. While DynamoDB was effective for storing monitoring and management data, it was limited in its ability to perform real-time analytics. The company attempted to use BI and dashboard solutions compatible with DynamoDB, but these were not granular or real-time enough. They also tried building Lambda functions and step-function logic to enable customer queries, but this approach stretched DynamoDB's indexes too thin and resulted in slow query times. The need for real-time business observability was becoming increasingly critical as more customers relied on IoT devices for mission-critical operations.
The Solution
1NCE adopted Rockset, a real-time analytics database, to complement their use of Amazon DynamoDB. Rockset's native integration with DynamoDB allowed for easy real-time data synchronization without the need for custom data pipelines. The use of SQL with Rockset enabled 1NCE's engineers to create and manage complex queries efficiently. The Query Lambdas feature in Rockset facilitated the creation of permanent, secure SQL queries that could automatically query new data seconds after being written to DynamoDB. This integration allowed 1NCE to provide customers with real-time insights and business observability through visual dashboards, enhancing their operational capabilities.

During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
