Sapot Systems architected and implemented highly scalable, async I/O-driven APIs for real-time monitoring of battery levels, firmware status, and device health across the Beats hardware line — enabling low-latency telemetry ingestion across mobile, desktop, and cloud applications at Apple production scale.

50M+ telemetry events per day. Sub-200ms latency. Production-scale from day one.

Sapot Systems architected and implemented highly scalable, async I/O-driven APIs for real-time monitoring of battery levels, firmware status, and device health across the Beats hardware line — enabling low-latency telemetry ingestion across mobile, desktop, and cloud applications at Apple production scale.

Engagement details: Team: 4 engineers · Duration: 18 months · Environment: High-availability consumer platform

What we delivered:

  • Async I/O-driven telemetry API architecture
  • Real-time ingestion pipeline across mobile, desktop, and cloud
  • Peak load optimization delivering 3× throughput improvement
  • Sub-200ms latency at 50M+ daily events

Results:

  • 50M+ telemetry events processed per day
  • Sub-200ms end-to-end latency
  • ~70% reduction in ingestion lag via async pipelines
  • API throughput at peak load
