Cloud Efficiency at Netflix
- Netflix uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for their cloud infrastructure needs.
- Netflix's ecosystem enables engineering teams to run applications and services at scale.
- The democratization of highly curated data sources is crucial for the efficiency of Netflix’s services and teams.
- Foundational Platform Data (FPD) and Cloud Efficiency Analytics (CEA) are the two components used by Netflix to provide a scalable analytic solution.
- The idea is to enable engineering partners to understand their resource usage effectively and efficiently, promoting cost consciousness decision-making.
- CEA provides time series efficiency metrics across various business use cases after consuming inventory, ownership, and usage data.
- Data correctness, trust, and SLAs are crucial while ensuring data completeness; Netflix continuously iterates audits and receives feedback to refine this process.
- FPD establishes data contracts with producers to ensure data quality and reliability; these contracts allow Netflix to leverage a common data model for ownership and usage.
- Moving towards proactive approaches via predictive analytics and machine learning is the long-term goal for Netflix.
- Netflix plans to cover nearly complete cost insight coverage in the upcoming year and extend FPD to other areas of the business such as security and availability.
