In today’s hyper-connected world, telecom providers process terabytes of data daily to ensure network reliability, performance, and customer satisfaction. For one of our customers, managing telemetry data across Verizon, Dish, and Comcast meant handling immense volumes—100GB per hour, to be exact—while ensuring real-time visibility, compliance, and cost control. But their legacy EC2-based ingestion platform was buckling under scale, cost, and complexity.
Our customer’s ingestion framework was manually provisioned and fragmented. Each telecom carrier had its own workflows, tools, and access controls, making observability and governance a nightmare. Provisioning a new data stream took up to two weeks, and monthly inefficiencies totaled over $700K, with $500K in overprovisioned EC2 and $175K in excessive S3 storage.
They needed a modern, scalable, and intelligent solution—fast.
Telemetry data landed in Amazon S3 using versioned, lifecycle-managed buckets that aligned with the customer’s Lakehouse model. Databricks served as the contextual analytics layer, enabling near real-time network insights. All infrastructure was codified using Terraform and CloudFormation, and automated through GitHub Actions, allowing for consistent CI/CD and rapid provisioning.
Security and compliance were non-negotiable. Technologent enforced role-based access controls using IAM, AWS Control Tower, and Service Control Policies (SCPs) to isolate carrier workloads while maintaining centralized observability. TLS encryption, CloudTrail logging, and Storage Lens ensured full visibility and governance.
This wasn’t just a technical win—it was a business transformation.
• $675K in monthly cost savings
• 90% reduction in S3 storage costs
• 80% reduction in compute spend by moving from EC2 to Lambda
• 78% faster provisioning
• 90% less manual administration
• 2.4TB/day telemetry ingestion at sustained performance
• 60% improvement in analytics performance with Databricks
This customer of ours now operates a scalable, compliant, and cost-optimized ingestion pipeline capable of supporting future 5G, IoT, and AI-driven use cases.
For any organization dealing with massive telemetry or sensor data—whether in telecom, manufacturing, or healthcare—the customer’s journey offers a roadmap for success. By embracing automation, serverless design, and centralized governance, they not only solved today’s ingestion challenges but built a foundation for intelligent operations at scale.
Technologent’s strategic blend of cloud-native engineering, cost governance, and automation ensured our client didn’t just move to the cloud—they evolved with it.
