Customer STory
Elkjøp, one of the largest consumer electronics retailers in the Nordic countries, needed full visibility into edge traffic during Black Friday Weeks, including traffic hitting cache and protection layers that prior tooling couldn’t surface. After implementing Hydrolix, the team resolved five separate issues during the proof of concept phase. When a massive DDoS attack involving 3,000 IP addresses across 80 countries hit during peak traffic, Hydrolix identified it immediately.
Without Hydrolix, we wouldn’t have spotted the attack this early.”

Frequently asked questions
How does Hydrolix handle traffic at Black Friday scale?
Hydrolix ingests log data from ingestion to insights in seconds. It has been proven at petabyte scale across high-stakes broadcast events and large-scale DDoS attacks. The platform is built to ingest and query at the volumes retail infrastructure produces at any scale, including daily traffic and peak sales.
How is this different from the analytics my CDN provider already offers?
CDN-native dashboards show you data from that provider only, often with limited retention and no cross-provider correlation. Hydrolix unifies log data across all your CDN providers in one place, retains it at full fidelity for 15+ months, and lets you make sub-second precision queries across petabyte-scale datasets, independent of any single vendor’s tools. Unlike sampled platforms that discard data after 30 days, Hydrolix keeps the full record intact for post-mortems and trend analysis.
How quickly can we get value from Hydrolix?
Elkjøp resolved five separate infrastructure issues during their proof of concept phase, before the platform was even in production. CDN Insights and Bot Insights are turnkey solutions that are operational within minutes of connecting your CDN log data.
How does Hydrolix help with bot visibility specifically?
Hydrolix Bot Insights works with your bot management tool. Bot Insights gives you a unified view of bot traffic across all your CDN providers, identifies the specific user agents interacting with your site, and lets you track trends across 15+ months of data. You can validate the impact of bot rule changes over time and understand how AI crawler activity is affecting your infrastructure costs.
