Case Study: Pantheon achieves a stable, scalable logging platform with Logz.io

How Pantheon Switched from Kibana 3 to Kibana 4 in Two Weeks

Pantheon, the website management platform powering hundreds of thousands of Drupal and WordPress sites, was spending significant engineering time maintaining its self-managed ELK stack. Frequent Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash upgrades, along with the need to scale the cluster and support multiple internal teams, made it difficult to keep up while staying focused on the core product.

Pantheon chose Logz.io’s ELK Stack service to reduce maintenance overhead and improve compliance, archiving, and security. Logz.io migrated Pantheon’s data in parallel, converted key dashboards from Kibana 3 to Kibana 4, and helped train the team onsite, enabling Pantheon to go live in two weeks. The result was a stable, reliable logging platform used by more than 50 users, with upgrades handled by Logz.io and engineers freed to focus on building the platform rather than managing infrastructure.
