Excerpt From Splunk Case Study
Why Splunk
Family Search planned to move to a continuous delivery model on AWS to increase business agility and more rapidly deliver features to its patrons. To do so, the company needed a monitoring service that could immediately detect changes across its website properties following the push of a new release. This service needed to support the cultural change to a Dev-Ops deployment model. To meet this need, Family Search chose Splunk Cloud to help analyze logs from all components of its IT environment in real time, without additional developer effort. Leveraging Splunk Cloud, Family Search is now able to identify errors in real time and has successfully moved to continuous delivery with over 900 deploys per day.
