Опубликовано 3 декабря 2016, 2:53

The companies Videology and Zendesk both had the same problem—how to rearchitect their big data processing platforms to scale to meet growing demand, while at the same time improving performance, availability, and cost structure? Videology provides a converged advertising solution that is screen-agnostic, ensuring unduplicated reach with the right frequency cadence to achieve guaranteed results. To achieve this, their big data platform ingests, processes, and analyzes a variety of logs. In this talk, Videology discusses how they migrated our platform to use Cloudera on a mix of m4 and r3 instances using the Amazon EBS Streaming Optimized HDD (st1) volume type. Zendesk provides a cloud-based customer support platform that allows quicker and easier interaction between businesses and customers. To deliver this experience, Zendesk runs a large Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana stack. The talk also discusses how Zendesk rearchitected their deployment to use m4s and also leverage the EBS Streaming Optimized HDD (st1) volume type. Tips for success will be shared throughout.
