The Challenge

A high-traffic e-commerce platform was experiencing frequent outages and performance issues with no visibility into system health, leading to extended downtime and revenue loss.

The company needed comprehensive monitoring and observability to proactively identify issues, reduce mean time to resolution, and ensure optimal customer experience during peak shopping periods.

Key Challenges:

  • No visibility into system performance and health
  • Extended downtime during peak shopping periods
  • Reactive incident response taking hours to resolve
  • Lack of application performance monitoring
  • No centralized logging for troubleshooting
