Case Study: Netlify achieves real-time observability at scale with Humio

Humio at Netlify Real-time Observability at Scale — in All Departments

Netlify, the San Francisco-based cloud computing company behind a global app delivery network for more than 500,000 developers and businesses, was struggling with logging at scale as traffic and log volume grew. Their existing system became too slow and unreliable, and a custom-built aggregation approach was consuming too much engineering time. They also needed a logging solution that could be shared with support and sales for business insights.

Humio provided the real-time, scalable log management platform Netlify needed, with unlimited ingest and customizable saved searches, dashboards, and queries. Netlify validated the move by piping data to Humio in parallel and confirming it could answer the same questions, while also surfacing more information. With Humio, Netlify improved developer confidence, enabled support and sales to self-serve insights, and strengthened incident response by improving uptime and mean time to discovery through faster access to real-time logs.
