Case Study: Zenfolio achieves faster issue resolution and stronger DDoS detection with Logz.io

How Zenfolio Mitigates DDoS Attacks and Bot Activity Using Logz.io

Zenfolio, a global photography service for professionals and enthusiasts, needed a more centralized logging solution as its platform grew across .NET applications, IIS web servers, Microsoft SQL Server, and private cloud storage. Its in-house ELK deployment struggled under the volume of data, creating resource and scaling challenges, and the company turned to Logz.io for a hosted ELK solution that could scale automatically.

Logz.io helped Zenfolio ingest logs with Filebeat and gain 24/7 visibility into application and web activity, enabling faster troubleshooting, security monitoring, and support investigations. Using Logz.io, Zenfolio identified and mitigated a DDoS attack and bot traffic, and today it analyzes more than 60 GB of logs from 40–50 servers daily. The company says Logz.io reduced issue identification and resolution work by at least 5x and improved customer support and time to resolution.
