12. Some Customers…

13. Bethesda Games uses
InfluxCloud to collect user
metrics on their newest game,
Fallout 76. They are currently
offering this on a limited release
to XBox users. They have 80,000
servers, reporting on 10s intervals
at their peak when they released
this to the general public on
Nov 14, 2018.

14. Wayfair is using InfluxData to
monitor system metrics & events
across datacenters, and Real User
monitoring (RUM) to understand
user experience on their e-
commerce site. The goal is to marry
these with business process events
and provide better business insight
and competitive advantage

15. InfluxDB is a major component to
providing observability across the
board at Playtech. It is better to
have simpler and faster monitoring
systems with tools for post hoc
analysis and avoid “magic”
systems that try to automatically
detect causality.

Technical Archtiect, Playtech

16. A&S Energie is a Belgian biomass
plant that supplies electricity by
burning non-recyclable wood. They
replaced their existing solution with
Factry Historian, powered by open
source InfluxDB. This allowed A&S
Energie to increase use of the
process data to make their staff
more efficient as well as find failures
faster.
