Digital twin factories: when DB delays freeze automation
- 19 September 2025
- Software Engineering
Introduction Digital twins—virtual replicas of physical factories—are redefining modern manufacturing. They simulate processes, predict failures, and continuously optimize production. But there is a critical dependency often overlooked: the performance of the databases that power them. When databases stall, even for seconds, digital twins lose accuracy, workflows freeze, and automation systems fail to deliver. In this … Continue reading “Digital twin factories: when DB delays freeze automation”

Space research simulations collapsing from DB overload
Introduction Space research depends on simulations that push technology to its limits. From modeling rocket launches to predicting orbital dynamics, these simulations generate massive streams of data. But increasingly, the bottleneck isn’t computing power—it’s the databases that store and process this information. When databases fail, simulations stall, research timelines slip, and millions in funding are … Continue reading “Space research simulations collapsing from DB overload”
