Providing Actionable Insight at Massive Scale

Telemetry and metrics play a critical role in the operations of any company, and at more than a billion metrics per minute flowing into Atlas, our time-series telemetry platform, they play a critical role at Netflix. However, Operational Insight is considered a higher-order family of products at Netflix, including the ability to understand the current components of our cloud ecosystem via Edda, and the easy integration of Java application code with Atlas via the Spectator library.

Effective performance instrumentation allows engineers to drill quickly on a massive volume of metrics, making critical decisions quickly and efficiently. Vector exposes high-resolution host-level metrics with minimal overhead.

Outside of the operational domain, cost management and visibility into where our resources are used in the cloud is a multi-million question to be answered; we've built Ice as a way to expose ongoing cost and and cloud utilization trends to engineers so they can have a better understanding of the footprint of their applications in our environment.

Finally to validate reliability, we have the Simian Army which tests our instances for random failures.
