About Customer	Greenhouse Software is the recruiting optimization platform that helps companies to source, interview, and hire the best talent available. Greenhouse works with such clients as Airbnb, Slack, Pinterest and Evernote, among many others. As one would expect, the three-year-young company and its 190 employees generate a tremendous amount of system and application event data. Currently, Greenhouse Software’s cloud runs nearly exclusively on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud and platform, with significant data being generated by its network connections, servers, and applications.

Solution	Greenhouse chose Sumo Logic’s cloud-native data analytics platform to gain full stack visibility and real-time insights from its AWS cloud platform including AWS CloudTrail and Amazon VPC Flow Logs data. By centralizing its log data, Sumo Logic is able to securely collect terabytes of data with lightweight collectors and APIs from any data source in Greenhouse’s stack. This enables Greenhouse to gain complete operations visibility and to proactively monitor its environment with live dashboards and alerts so that it can provide optimal end user experiences and reduce downtime by detecting and resolving issues in real time. Currently, the primary use for Sumo Logic within Greenhouse Software is to help the development and engineering teams to better support the delivery of software services to their customers and improve the uptime and resiliency of those services.
