Slack Case Study
Slack is a channel based messaging platform. It provides a platform where people can work together more effectively and connect their software and services and collect the information they need.
It is a San Francisco-based company. It was started as a small group of entrepreneurs. The company launched one eponymous app in 2014. This company comes in the Fortune Magazine's “Unicorn List” worth of $1billion and 2.8 billion valuation support with the increment of 5% weekly growth of the customer. Adobe, Samsung, Intuit, NASA, Dow Jones, eBay, and Expedia are using Slack.
Why slack move to the cloud?
By July 2015, the company crosses 1.1 Million users, 300,000 paid seats, and exchanges 30 Million messages per week.
So as a startup, the main focus is to run the service instead of looking over the upfront. So the best choice is Cloud said by Richard Crowley, Director of Operations, Slack.
Slack uses lots of services of the AWS, these services are
- 2.xlarge Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud for normal computing tasks.
- Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) so that they uphold users’ files and status assets.
- Elastic Load Balancing, so that they can easily manage traffic on their website.
- Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for the data backup of the My SQL server.
- EBS volumes are attached to the instances and used as the temporary storage before sending the data to the S3.
- Some other services are the Redis data structure server, the Apache Solr search tool, the Squid caching proxy, and a MySQL database.
Richard Crowley said that it chooses AWS because of a wide range of services and easy management. Instances are launched in 30 seconds. Slack has integration with another platform, so data of the customer become one big challenge. But AWS publishes service organization control (SOC) reports, which are based on third-party examination.
Aws is safe, secure, and always on.
