This infrastructure is completely AWS-based and is built to scale without failure to bring the right data to the right place. We have SDKs for both iOS and Android platform used by over 100 partner teams to log business and operational metrics.

We have built various data & machine learning applications on top of the data, and in the coming year, we will be adding more machine learning models to evaluate patterns in the data, intelligent dashboards to help engineering determine usage patterns, and throttling tools to help control the data size and complexity.
