I'm probably forgetting some, but this is a fairly comprehensive list of the cloud services I use for work:

  • GCP: This is primary cloud provider and we try to stay in-cloud as much as possible.
  • AWS: Legacy services that weren't worth the hassle porting to GCP, like s3. Also, we just acquired a company who's product is fully rooted in AWS, so our footprint has expanded.
  • MongoDB: MongoDB drives two of the applications that make up our platform.
  • MailChimp: Transactional emails (technically this is Mandrill but they dropped the branding?)
  • Confluent: Data pipelines within the application
  • Hevo: Data pipelines from third-party sources into our BigQuery data warehouse
  • Pusher: Real-time notification events for one of our legacy applications
  • New Relic: Performance Monitoring
  • DataDog: Synthetic Tests
  • Sentry: Front end monitoring
  • Elastic: For our application's activity feed
  • Lokalise: Automated translations using CI/CD
  • BrickFTP/Files.com: SFTP option for our customers to transmit HRIS files for processing
  • Cloudinary: Image transformations
  • Pager Duty: MTTR tool
  • Velocity Code Climate: A metrics tool which allows you to measure the performance of your engineers. I know that might sound controversial to some, I would encourage you to read the book Accelerate to understand the value such a tool provides.
  • Atlassian JIRA/confluence: Project Management
  • Github: Source Control
  • Okta: Single-Sign On
  • CircleCI: Continuous Integration & Delivery. Check out my post A Litmus Test for CircleCI to understand why we picked Circle
  • FreshDesk: Customer-facing support tools
  • Slack: Asynchronous Comms
  • Zoom: Synchronous comms
  • GSuite: Email
  • Coder: It's Github Codespaces, but for the enterprise
  • Databricks: Data analytics
  • GRS: A Third-party rewards fulfillment system with country-specific catalogs
  • Catalog API: Another rewards fulfillment service, better suited for domestic (US) audiences
  • Lacework: Intrusion Detection and compliance monitoring
  • Apptio: BI tool for monitoring your cloud spend

Personally, some services I use in the context of software development:

  • Cloudflare: DNS
  • Belena.io: IoT management & deployment of containers
  • Digital Ocean
  • Heroku
  • Twilio: SMS messaging
  • Stripe: Payments
