关于客户
New Relic is a software analytics company that makes sense of billions of metrics about millions of applications in real time. Their comprehensive SaaS-based solution provides one powerful interface for web and native mobile applications and consolidates the performance monitoring data for any chosen technology in an environment. Their customers use their cloud solution every day to optimize more than 200 billion metrics for 3 million applications. When your brand and customer experience depend on the performance of modern software, New Relic provides insight into your overall environment.
挑战
As New Relic anticipated their future growth, they saw it as an opportunity to rethink their own application architecture. This led New Relic to morph their existing monolithic application components into a service-oriented architecture with a goal of increasing their number of software deployments each day. At the same time, they were planning to greatly increase their infrastructure and launch new products and features into the marketplace. As a SaaS company, these transitions were not taken lightly, as any changes to the existing infrastructure and services instantly touches their customers. To aid in this transition, the Site Engineering group, including – Sean Kane Lead Site Reliability Engineer Karl Matthias and Sean Kane, along with several product teams, started to investigate Docker, the open platform to build, ship and run distributed applications.
解决方案
New Relic adopted Docker, the open platform to build, ship and run distributed applications. As early adopters of the Docker platform, the team even custom-built an open source project called Centurion as a deployment tool that contributed to the Docker community. That tooling was integrated into their original proof of concept deployment pipeline, which was built on Docker and formed the platform for their new application release process. Today there are over 75 New Relic production services that run on Docker both in New Relic’s own data center and in the Amazon Web Services cloud. Containers are always spinning up and down depending on what new features are being deployed and each application team is able to deploy containers on demand.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
