Pirelli: A pure tire company… Cars Moto Motorsport Bicycling
…or not
Pirelli’s focus High-end and prestige markets Premium products Prestige brand
From whence we came Standard story: everything on-prem at data centers and in factories
Moving to the cloud… Nearly 150 years of legacy More than just software
B2B and B2C Historically B2B-focused Today, B2C is growing quickly
The past: pretty good! Built progressively and from organic needs State of the art, at the time
Focus Core system priorities Protecting trade secrets Securing sensitive data
Promise and potential challenges of the cloud Unlock creative potential Massive cultural shift Agile? DevOps? It’s complicated…
The first phase Brand new team with a big responsibility Lift and shift
Let’s talk tech
Advantages of the first phase Technical advantages? Sure. Business advantages? Sì!
Observability: required Monitoring isn’t enough Partner with an expert
What is Observability?
Increasing complexity and scale
An holistic, multi-dimensional approach
Story time! Critical B2C service crossing multiple segments and teams Chasing problems; chasing ghosts…
Everybody needs friends Growing internally and externally AWS collaboration Datadog collaboration
The second phase Level-up: new tech, new culture Move faster and safer
Docker for all! No lifting and shifting; need to rearchitect things Containerization is definitely faster, but is it safer?
Trust, but verify Rapid prototyping Managed services Infrastructure concerns
Serverless (Lambda) What is it? Works for some things, but not for others Operational advantages and concerns
Serverless, a practical example APIs are often good candidates for serverless May require significant design and implementation changes
Some of the cool things we’re building Racing on tracks Managing truck fleets Sustainable mobility

Pirelli is known for creating cutting-edge, high-quality tires with a focus on the performance needs of both high-end consumer drivers and professional drivers. But today, Pirelli tires are much more than rubber on the road—they are connected IoT devices reporting telemetry data to help drivers achieve their safety and performance goals. Between this telemetry function and Pirelli’s other applications, a huge amount of data flows into Pirelli’s systems. Ensuring that these platforms are scalable and reliable is Pirelli’s biggest challenge. In this session, Pirelli shares how these systems are built using AWS and are made possible by modern observability tooling.
