Onefootball scores with New Relic observability

Onefootball, a leading media platform for football fans worldwide, faced scalability and stability challenges as its user base rapidly expanded. The platform, serving over 10 million fans monthly with news, scores, and videos, experienced performance bottlenecks, especially during peak events when usage spiked dramatically. These issues not only impacted the user experience but also hindered the productivity of Onefootball's newsroom team.

To address these challenges, Onefootball migrated its workloads to Kubernetes on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to automate scaling and management of containerized applications and microservices. While Kubernetes improved scalability, it introduced a new layer of complexity, making it difficult to monitor the environment and applications effectively. To gain comprehensive visibility, Onefootball turned to New Relic to monitor its applications and Kubernetes environment.

New Relic provided Onefootball with deep insights into its Kubernetes environment, connecting the activities within the clusters to application performance and user experience. This visibility enabled the engineering teams to collaborate more effectively, share knowledge, and take ownership of their deployments. By instrumenting New Relic alerts and creating customized dashboards, Onefootball was able to visualize user experience, track key metrics, and quickly identify and resolve issues.

The results of implementing New Relic were significant. Onefootball reduced incidents by 80% and freed up 40% of developer time. The company successfully supported a major global tournament with improved scalability and performance, enhancing the user experience and driving growth. New Relic's monitoring capabilities enabled Onefootball to optimize its platform, address technical debt, and ensure a stable and reliable service for its millions of football fans.

Value Results:

• 80% reduction in incidents

• 40% of developer time freed up

• Improved scalability and performance during peak events
