Case Study: Evernote achieves unprecedented visibility and faster feature delivery with Datadog

Datadog Giving Evernote unprecedented visibility for competitive cloud services

Evernote, the cross‑platform note‑taking app with more than 200 million users, outgrew its private cloud and needed to scale, secure massive data stores, and maintain high performance and uptime. The company faced the challenge of migrating 3.5 PB (5 billion notes and 12 billion attachments) and improving visibility across a dynamic infrastructure to speed innovation without disrupting customers.

Evernote migrated to Google Cloud Platform with Google Professional Services and adopted Datadog for cloud‑native monitoring, completing the data move in 70 days. The combined solution delivered full‑stack visibility, 15 months of high‑granularity metrics, and automated alerts, improving performance, uptime, and security, freeing two full‑time engineers to accelerate development, and enabling faster delivery of new features.
