Whitepaper - Tableau Cloud Scalability: Overview and Proof Points

Part of our mission to help people see and understand data means ensuring our customers have confidence in the scalability and availability of our SaaS analytics platform, Tableau Cloud. When everyone in your company depends on data and analytics, you can’t afford to let them down. And we believe it’s important you understand how our hosted service leverages enterprise-grade cloud technology to scale as fluidly as your business grows.

This whitepaper describes Tableau Cloud’s high-level architecture and explains how the architecture scales to serve large sites with thousands of geographically distributed users. You will learn how one of Tableau’s largest internal sites is configured and performs at scale in Tableau Cloud.
