We just completed a major upgrade to the Fulcrum web platform, strengthening our cloud infrastructure and improving performance for our global user base. These improvements ensure greater reliability, security, and scalability as more teams rely on Fulcrum for field data collection.
Fulcrum now replicates data in real time across multiple datacenters in separate geographic regions. This upgrade increases redundancy, ensuring that data stays secure and accessible even in the event of unexpected disruptions. As teams sync data from the field, our cloud infrastructure now streams it to several database servers at once. This setup guarantees faster access, better reliability, and stronger data protection.
Field operations cost time and money, and lost data leads to rework, inefficiencies, and frustration. By reinforcing our cloud infrastructure, we’ve added another layer of security to ensure every data point remains intact. Mirrored cloud servers and full backups guarantee that your collected data is always safe, preventing delays and data loss that could impact your projects.
Our backend is now powered by PostgreSQL and PostGIS, the industry standard for managing spatial data. PostGIS, powered by an active developer community, continues to push geospatial technology forward. These upgrades set the stage for powerful new Fulcrum features. Faster searching, sorting, and filtering will improve data analysis, while enhanced quality control tools will help field teams validate data more efficiently.
These improvements represent a significant step forward, ensuring that Fulcrum continues to evolve with the needs of modern field teams. For more details on from our tech team, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our blog to stay updated on the new features rolling out soon.
