Salesforce was the first of many SaaS-based companies to succeed and see massive growth. Since they first started out in 1999, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools have taken the IT sector and, well the world, by storm. For one, they mitigate bloatware by moving applications from the client’s computer to the cloud. Plus, the sheer ease of use brought by cloud-based, plug-and-play software solutions has transformed all sorts of sectors.

Developing scalable and reliable applications is a serious business. It requires precision, accuracy, effective teamwork, and convenient tooling. During the software construction phase, developers employ numerous techniques to debug and resolve issues within their programs. One of these techniques is to leverage monitoring and logging libraries to discover how the application behaves in edge cases or under load.
An organization’s logging platform is a critical infrastructure component. Its purpose is to provide comprehensive and relevant information about the system, to specific parties, while it's running or when it's being built. For example, developers would require detailed and accurate logs when building and implementing services locally or in remote environments so that they can test new features.
In 1946, a moth found its way to a relay of the Mark II computer in the Computation Laboratory where Grace Hopper was employed. Since that time, software engineers and operations specialists have been plagued by “bugs.” In the age of DevOps, we can catch many bugs before they escape into a production environment. Still, occasionally they do, and they can spawn all kinds of unexpected problems when they do.
At Adyen, we use Elasticsearch to power various parts of our payments platform. This includes payment search, monitoring, and log search. Let’s take a look at how we use Elastic for these different use cases and see how we capitalize on the power of Elasticsearch. We recently did a talk about some of our Elasticsearch adventures at an Elastic meetup. You can find a recording here.
