Traba is reimagining industrial staffing by building Scout - an AI recruiter that conducts thousands of real-time interviews in parallel, qualifying workers with the speed and consistency of automation while preserving the depth and personalization of human-led conversations.

Traba transitioned from Firestore to PostgreSQL to manage escalating costs and improve scalability. The migration reduced database expenses by over 70% and enabled greater control and efficiency by switching to a fixed hourly billing model. Our journey highlights key insights for optimizing database architecture for growth.
