What they don’t say is how much in developer time they’ve spent rolling their own database. Then there’s also maintenance and new features.

It seems like features would be mainly additional key/values like temperature, humidity, etc. This wouldn't really change the underlying infrastructure greatly but still give good enhancements to certain customers.

I'm sure their custom database will be easy to find people to support and maintain
