Meet Augury
Founded in 2011 by Technion graduates Gal Shaul and Saar Yoskovitz, Augury launched as a cloud-based solution deploying IoT devices connected to manufacturing machines worldwide. The founders realized that if people could hear machine problems, machines could be taught to hear them too. These devices continuously send data to the cloud where machine learning algorithms analyze it, providing immediate insights to customers about machine health and performance.
The Challenge
Augury needed to rebuild its IoT platform to scale for enterprise customers while handling massive volumes of real-time data from manufacturing machines. The company required a stable cloud solution that could offer superior scalability and a broad range of IoT technologies. They also needed to improve the flow between research, development, and production environments to deliver faster insights to customers.
The Solution
Augury completed a full migration to Google Cloud, moving all microservices to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with DoiT as implementation partner. The company leveraged Google Cloud IoT Core, Cloud Dataflow, BigQuery, and Cloud Pub/Sub to process telemetry from IoT devices on factory floors. GKE's autoscaling features ensured balanced algorithm processing and met SLA requirements even during high data volume periods.
Results
- Reduced machine failure by 75% through superior machine health insights
- Saved millions of dollars for manufacturing customers through improved efficiency
- Enabled real-time analysis of tens of millions of machine learning features
- Achieved seamless scalability during high data volume periods with GKE autoscaling
With help of DoiT, our transition to Google Cloud was smooth and efficient. DoiT engineers were there to answer all of our questions, consulted with us on best practices for Google Cloud deployment, and helped us solve any issues that arose, quickly and efficiently.

Improving Research and Production Flow
Google Cloud enables Augury to use the same data for research and production environments. Working with open source pipeline technologies like Cloud Dataflow and Apache Beam allows the team to work on algorithms with an agile mindset while contributing back to the open source community. This approach enables rapid movement from research to production, delivering value quickly to customers experiencing digital transformation.
Delivering Business Impact
Google Cloud IoT Core, Cloud Pub/Sub, and Cloud Dataflow enable Augury to consume telemetry from IoT devices on factory floors. GKE's autoscaling features ensure solid algorithm processing latency that meets customer SLAs. Even when large facilities come back online after extended downtime, pushing huge data volumes, GKE handles the flow while maintaining balanced performance.
Real-Time Machine Health Insights
Augury customers receive real-time insights into machine health, with some manufacturing customers checking data hourly. The company relies on continuous data flows and analysis to provide seamless service. GKE ensures instances run in a balanced manner, allowing Augury to deliver uninterrupted insights that help customers make smarter decisions about maintenance and production health.
Digital Transformation Results
Understanding machine health serves as the foundation for digital transformation in manufacturing. Gaining visibility into machine health enables companies to transform their supply chain and culture to agile just-in-time manufacturing. This transformation saves millions of dollars in efficiency improvements while reducing environmental impact and enhancing human productivity across manufacturing operations.

What they say
What I really like about DoiT's approach is that you're very hands-on and proactive. Satyam would ping me a few times a sprint, letting me know about the most current features, checking in on how things are going. When we are going through a peak time, that proactiveness makes a real difference. Satyam always comes through whenever we need support and helps us leverage the right experts to get us where we need to be.
Chiamaka Ibeme, Engineering Manager, Platform
SELECT has made important cost data readily accessible. I will often pull it up during engineering design reviews so we can quickly evaluate cost impact and projections and factor that into our design decisions.
Douglas Zickuhr, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Personio
I love clicking through SELECT to understand how our environment and workloads are evolving. I probably check it every day. It's coffee and SELECT for me every morning.
Ian Fahey, Senior Analytics Engineer at Loop
You guys have the best UI experience that I've had of any software. It's like you just read my mind where, like, oh, I wish I could click there. Oh, I can
Diana Koshy, Sr. Director of Data Engineering at Kargo
SELECT feels like exactly what Paul and I would have built if we had locked ourselves in a room for 18 months to create our ideal monitoring solution.
Devin McGee, Data Engineering Lead at Home Chef
SELECT dramatically lowers the cognitive load to understanding Snowflake costs. I'm able to sit there and easily understand what's driving the cost. Not to blow smoke up your ass, but it's just so easy to do in your platform
Blake Baggett, Head of Data Operations at Entain
One of the most helpful cost rituals we've setup from SELECT is the weekly spend digest sent to Slack. I can start high level and ensure things are in check. If not, I can very quickly drill down into specific workloads which may have driven the cost spike and remediate them before they become a bigger issue.
Michael Revelo, Manager of data and analytics engineering at ClickUp
Through SELECT's automated savings feature and deep cost visibility, we were able to instantly lower our Snowflake spend by over 40% and achieve a 20X ROI on our SELECT investment.
Skyler Chi, SVP, GTM Productivity & Excellence at Exiger
Our costs had jumped up 3X as we scaled, so we're talking about 60% savings in Snowflake spend after adopting SELECT.
Edward Mancey, GTM Lead at Synthesia
DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.
Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly
DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.
Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail
Every customer has unique usage patterns. Manual resource optimization simply didn't scale—we needed automation to ensure every customer, regardless of size, had right-sized infrastructure without consuming our team's capacity.
Brad Quinn, Lead Platform Engineer, PlayHQ
PerfectScale allowed us to grow capacity without growing cost. We effectively absorbed 30% more usage for free.
