eBay | mobile.de

mobile.de is Germany's biggest online vehicle marketplace. Think of it as the German version of eBay Motors. eBay acquired mobile.de in 2004. eBay uses InfluxDB for trend checks. They capture metrics from several systems including mongodb, varnish, rabbitmq, squid, (and many more) and analyze the data week over week, month over month and so on, trying to spot anomalies. Everything is hooked up with sensu and they use grafana to visualize the data. What did they find to be InfluxDB's most compelling feature? Clustering.

Muzzley

Automating your home can be tough, but Muzzley makes home automation a breeze. Muzzley gets all your smart devices to work together in a way that adapts to your preferences. No wires, no hubs, no fuss. Just your smartphone and the devices you love. InfluxDB allowed them to easily set up a platform to not only monitor their systems and services, but to also register key information transmitted through their systems in real time. They needed a quick way to deal with this information in an accurate way and InfluxDB proved to be exactly what they were looking for.
