How Cloud Native Tech Helped Peloton Ride to Exponential Growth - Jim Haughwout, Vice President of Platform, Peloton
A
A
As
priyanka
talked
about
in
her
presentation,
2020
was
a
year
of
cloud.
Native
2020
was
a
hard
year
for
all
of
us,
but
like
many
other
leading
consumer
technology
companies,
millions
of
people
turn
to
us,
in
our
case,
accelerating
the
move
to
home
fitness
and
using
peloton
services
for
fitness,
health
and
wellness.
A
Our
mission
at
peloton
is
to
use
technology
and
design
to
connect
the
world
through
fitness,
empowering
people
to
be
the
best
version
of
themselves
anywhere
to
deliver.
On
this
mission,
we
work
across
an
amazing
range
of
technologies,
the
hardware
that
you
all
know
and
love
firmware,
iot
and
mobile
edge
and
streaming
and,
of
course,
the
cloud
native
infrastructure
of
compute
storage
data
and
everything
else
that
all
of
us
at
cncf
love
and
use
every
day.
A
A
At
the
cncf
we
like
to
talk
about
scaling
and
especially
auto
scaling
in
2020
peloton
scaled
in
nearly
every
dimension.
You've
heard
about
our
triple
digit
scaling
of
manufacturing
capacity,
but
we
also
had
triple
digit
scaling
in
our
application
downloads,
our
subscriptions
our
streaming,
the
compute
levels,
every
aspect
of
speed
and
delivery.
A
Today's
conference
in
this
week's
conference
has
a
theme
of
forward
together
and
at
peloton
we
have
a
value
that
says
together
we
go
far,
perhaps
you've
seen
the
hashtag
and
instagram
or
elsewhere.
This
is
something
we
live
every
day
as
our
engineers
work
together
to
build
and
base.
This
is
how
the
cncf
works
together
as
well.
A
Building
on
each
other's
tech,
we
get
to
take
cncf
technology
off
the
shelf.
We
get
to
hire
people
who
know
the
technology
work
of
the
end
user
community
to
share
problems
and
experiences
and
help
each
other
out.
This
is
why
peloton
joined
not
only
the
cncf
but
other
linux
foundation.
Groups
like
the
mobile
native
foundation
as
well
using
cncf
software
helps
us
attract
the
best
talent,
helps
them
use
their
expertise
faster,
helps
us
learn
and
grow
faster,
which
is
central
to
what
we
do.
A
So,
in
the
last
year
we
went
from
a
year
ago
we
were
at
zero
percent
of
our
traffic
on
kubernetes.
We
were
using
the
normal,
auto
scaling
approaches
that
most
people
did
peloton's
traffic
is
inherently
bursty.
We
do
special
events,
we
have
very
popular
classes
at
the
same
time
that
base
that
we're
bursting
and
auto
scaling
has
been
growing
at
triple
digit
rates
that
made
kubernetes
a
phenomenal
technology
for
us
so
moving
to
kubernetes.
We,
basically
we
hired
some
amazing
engineers
and
engineering
leaders.
A
They
were
able
to
quickly
take
advantage
of
kubernetes
documentation.
The
community
learn
lessons,
learned
expertise
and
their
own
expertise
and
drive
us
forward.
In
less
than
a
year
later,
we
move
to
100
kubernetes
all
of
our
traffic
every
day,
but
more
importantly,
this
allowed
us
to
scale
for
our
biggest
seasonal
spikes
and,
to
put
this
in
perspective,
imagine
whole
football-sized
stadiums,
whether
it's
american
football,
where
football's
the
rest
of
the
world
looks
at
it.
Football-Sized
stadiums
of
people
all
in
the
same
class
with
the
same
instructor.
A
At
the
same
time,
then
imagine
multiple
stadiums
at
the
same
time.
Doing
that
that's
the
kind
of
compute
loads
that
we
work
through
and
moving
to
kubernetes
has
allowed
us
to
set
those
records
and
break
those
records,
double
them
triple
them
and
quadruple
them
in
the
last
few
months
alone,
and
we're
actually
able
to
do
this
with
less
toil
and
to
do
this
just
more
efficiently
in
general.
A
I
know
you
would
love
me
to
talk
more
about
the
details
of
this
and
you
will,
in
the
community,
get
a
chance
to
learn
more
right
now.
Our
team
is
working
with
cheryl's
team
to
document
this
in
a
case
study,
because
I'm
a
big
believer
that
you
should
be
able
to
hear
this
from
the
engineers
who
did
this
work
and
our
great
sres
and
infrastructure
engineers
will
share
that
story
in
their
own
words.
Through
the
case
study-
and
perhaps
this
fall
in
los
angeles
in
kubecon,
north
america,.
A
Well,
our
kubernetes
story
is
amazing.
It's
just
one
of
the
many
cncf
technologies.
We
use
here's
a
little
bit
of
an
idea
of
what
we're
working
on
right
now
and
what's
coming
next
and
a
little
bit
of
how
our
ecosystem
works.
As
I
mentioned,
we
don't
just
work
in
the
cloud
we
work
in
hardware.
We
work
in
iot
and
mobile
and
edge.
We
get
to
pull
all
these
technologies
together.
A
This
isn't
just
a
buzzword.
I
know
this
is
getting
to
be
a
very
popular
term.
For
today,
this
is
central
to
our
world
of
connected
fitness
and
in
connecting
our
connected
fitness
devices
to
all
of
our
technology,
we're
probably
going
to
find
some
really
interesting
envoy
cases
and
perhaps
envoy
mobile
cases
in
this,
and
that's
we'll
be
exploring
the
next
year
and,
of
course,
we're
also
working
on
as
you
get
into
envoy
and
others
service
meshes
and
data
meshes
as
well.
A
This
is
an
area
that
the
cncf
has
been
exploring
in
the
last
few
years.
The
end
user
community,
especially
has
been
looking
on
developer
experience
being
part
of
that
community
has
allowed
us
to
explore
problems
together
and
learn
from
each
other.
It's
even
allowed
us
to
develop
and
contribute
some
exciting
new
projects,
and
with
that
I'm
very
happy
to
share
that
peloton
is
also
turning
to
backstage
a
cncf
project.
That's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
from
my
prior
work,
the
cncf
community.
A
A
Knowledge
of
these
technologies
opens
doors
to
amazing
places,
to
work
like
peloton
and
all
the
other
member
communities
through
open
source.
You
can
learn,
build
expertise,
share
back
to
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
then
expertise
can
basically
be
work.
Follow
you
as
you
move
on
in
your
career
and
work
with
others
and
build
on
each
other.
A
We're
really
excited
as
a
new
member
of
the
cncf
to
partner,
stronger
and
innovate.
We're
also
really
excited
about
finding
some
new
ideas
that
we
can
contribute
back
and
show
leadership
in
the
community
as
well
discovering
this
together
with
cncf
and
other
linux
foundation,
groups
is
going
to
be
really
exciting
for
us.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
invite
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
case
study
that
comes
out
from
our
engineers
on
our
move
to
kate's
and
wish
you
all
a
great
kubecon
europe
2021..
