To enable the scientific models that power its worldwide surf and marine forecasts, Surfline handles an enormous amount of data on a daily basis. The company approached Onica to migrate their environment to the cloud while designing a solution that supported automated deployments and infrastructure management with no downtime.

Working closely with the Surfline engineering team, Onica simplified and automated all deployment processes using a combination of Chef, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Onica brought DevOps best practices to Surfline, fully integrating development and operations.
Surfline is the top online destination for real-time surfing-related information, and specializes in providing surf conditions and other ocean-weather data around the globe. Surfline.com has built the largest streaming coastal HD cam network available on the Web. With a mission to enable enthusiasts to pursue peak surfing, the site has attracted an audience in the millions by merging data-driven surf forecasts with high-quality editorial content.
The resulting environment is completely automated, enabling multiple daily deployments as a result of continuous integration and delivery. The time and cost to produce surf and weather forecasts was reduced, while increasing service uptime and reliability by orders of magnitude. Surfline also significantly reduced the number of late-night alerts to its engineers.
