Ellie Mae Inc.

Ellie Mae Inc. is a software company that processes ~40% of all U.S. mortgage applications. Their services include originating and funding new mortgage loans and facilitating regulatory compliances. For Ellie Mae, observability is key. Their Observability platform was previously run on the Amazon Elasticsearch Service, among many other silo’d monitoring offerings. Learn how Ellie Mae Inc. has migrated to a licensed, self-managed Elasticsearch deployment (with zero downtime), consolidated dozens of tools for better observability, and how they extended Libbeat with APM to make old unstructured data and over a million events per minute accessible with the power of search.
