NetflixNetflix Modernizes Application Health with Elastic
Netflix, a communication services organization in the United States, uses Elasticsearch from Elastic to support production support for SREs and developers.
Netflix asked for a cleaner operating picture of application health. Elastic is what they run.
“From the United States, communication services teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer.”
“Elastic builds search, observability, and security software on Elasticsearch, used to find information and investigate operational data.”

| Capability | SREs and developers work from the same Elasticsearch record for application health |
Story
Netflix grew application health faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, communication services teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. SREs and developers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Elasticsearch put production support on Elastic. Elastic builds search, observability, and security software on Elasticsearch, used to find information and investigate operational data. Netflix keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so SREs and developers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier production support. Application health is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join SREs and developers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
