Managing Trade-Offs in System Design: Case Study in Migrating from Flink to Pinot | RTA Summit 2025

As organizations increasingly rely on high-performance wireless networks, ensuring optimal Wi-Fi functionality has become critical. 7Signal, a leading provider of Wi-Fi analytics and monitoring solutions, faced scalability and performance challenges while aggregating and analyzing large volumes of network performance data. This session will explore how 7Signal leveraged StarTree and Apache PinotPinot™ to transform their data architecture. By integrating real-time data ingestion from their Mobile Eye and Sapphire sensor-based solutions, they eliminated costly pre-aggregation and significantly improved query performance. The transition from legacy Postgres-based architecture to Pinot provided low-latency analytics, enabling Wi-Fi performance insights at scale across industries such as healthcare and sports venues. Join us to learn how 7Signal successfully unified multiple data sources into a single high-performance analytics platform, reduced troubleshooting time, and empowered customers with real-time network intelligence. Attendees will gain insights into key technical challenges, implementation strategies, and business impact, paving the way for scalable data-driven decision-making in Wi-Fi network monitoring.
