Out of curiosity, how do you use Node for this purpose? Is it building a real time dashboard?
My company has possibly similar challenges. We have lots of sensors on equipment that streams information every few ms through a time series database from the vendor. It's used to build monitoring dashboards, trigger alarms and help engineers to prioritize and optimize equipment settings, and look for trends over time.
It's such high volumes that capturing it and analyzing can be difficult, so we use a combination of vendor systems, Azure Synapse and Power BI. There are still lots of opportunities to improve, and I'd be interested to hear how you landed on your setup and what you do with the data.
