Case Study: Stride streamlines log analytics and cuts costs with ChaosSearch

Stride streamlines log analytics for 2 million students with ChaosSearch

Stride, Inc., a leader in K-12 online education, faced challenges with its ELK stack as its DevOps team struggled with the restrictive, costly, and difficult process of managing application logs from MuleSoft CloudHub. The team sought to leverage its existing Amazon S3 cloud storage to reduce costs and simplify log accessibility for analysis while retaining the Kibana analytics interface it preferred.

By implementing the ChaosSearch cloud data platform, Stride could send logs directly to S3 and index them without the management overhead of its previous solution. This provided the team with flexible, scalable log analytics at a lower cost. The results included significant cost savings over the previous Elasticsearch cluster, a major reduction in maintenance toil, and newfound flexibility for analyzing data over longer periods, allowing 25 developers and operations staff to troubleshoot applications more effectively.
