Founded in 2013, Ometria has grown to serve the needs of hundreds of retail marketers. The company delivers detailed insights about their customers used to create personalized marketing experiences through Ometria’s marketing platform.
To deliver these insights, Ometria gathers and analyzes consumer data from a customer’s various data sources. As Ometria continued to grow, so did their data volumes, and their existing setup with AWS’ RDS started to show considerable weaknesses. CTO Al James explains:
