What our customer cruise.co.uk says
We can scale with the environment we have got. The metrics we get out of the system are massively improved from what we had on other platforms in the past so we're much more able to isolate and identify when there are issues or when we're reaching limits on storage so it's been really good.
We are hosting all of our microservices with you and everything stays up - its the resilience and ease of use that's the sell.
