From Start Up to Scale Up: Employing Cloud in your innovation strategy
Lee will explain how leading Logit.io from startup to scaleup has required effective use of multiple cloud solutions. As an ISO 27001 certified centralised logging and metrics management company, their platform serves FTSE 100, government and fast-growing smaller organisations alike. Building a secure and compliant solution with the performance to process billions of logs per day required Logit.io to scale horizontally, but also maintain the right balance between storage and compute power, with the high-performance raw disk power to run Elasticsearch for data analytics. Lee will explain how Logit has had to adjust and evolve.
