Queries of up to 18,000 characters, running in full and delivered to its own cloud storage.
An analytics firm that delivers insight work to its own clients.

The firm was using a social listening tool as its data provider, and paying listening tool contract prices to do it. It also wanted to control its own tools and add to them, which it couldn't do inside a listening tool. So it moved to raw data from a provider.
The hard part was the queries. There were about 17,000 of them, written as long Boolean expressions in the listening tool's own syntax. Some ran past 18,000 characters, far longer than the new provider would accept in a standard request.
Datastreamer worked through the syntax differences between the two. When the longest queries started failing, the team traced the cause to a request-size limit on the provider's side, at about 8 KB.
Within 1 week, Datastreamer changed how long queries are sent so they run in full, and rolled the fix out to every customer using that provider. Results land in the firm's own cloud storage, ready for its analysts.
About 17,000 jobs now run on the firm's own stack, at provider data prices, with the freedom to build what its clients need.
