ParkMobile Completes Cloud Migration Four Months after Adopting Datadog

Datadog, Inc., the monitoring and security stage for cloud applications, today declared that ParkMobile, the main supplier of brilliant stopping and versatility arrangements in the U.S., has used Datadog for monitoring, APM, and logging during its movement from an on-premises environment to a cloud-based environment on Amazon Web Services.

ParkMobile helps a large number of individuals effectively find and pay for stopping on their cell phones, with answers for rapidly pay for road and garage parking without utilizing a meter or booth. Also, ParkMobile offers parking reservations for shows, games, air terminals, grounds, and that's only the tip of the iceberg, in urban areas across the United States. Urban areas and stopping administrators depend on ParkMobile, and thus, ParkMobile depends on its innovation to control these basic services. At the point when ParkMobile started the way toward moving its heritage on-prem infrastructure to AWS, their designing group required another way to deal with observing, logging, and APM that could deal with the progress at both scale and cost, and backing cloud-local services and configuration designs.

“In 2018, we made a strategic decision to fully migrate to AWS and sunset our data center. As we migrated our applications to containerized workloads on AWS, we quickly realized our legacy monitoring tools weren’t ready for this new Kubernetes and EKS based world,” said Matt Ball, Chief Technology Officer at ParkMobile. “The team tried a few different tools, including open-source, but the costs in both financial and human terms were too high. Our Site Reliability Engineers were turning into full-time open source engineers, which was a poor use of resources. Datadog is intuitive and cost-effective, and it has allowed us to index all our logs, see them alongside our metrics, and trace our applications with support for the languages we use. We adopted Datadog in February 2020 and we were fully out of the data center by June. Datadog really accelerated our migration.”
