REA Group, a leading property marketing and advertising company operating prominent websites like realestate.com.au, embraced a DevOps approach and cloud migration to maintain its market leadership. Facing challenges with infrequent, large-scale deployments and limited insight into failures, REA Group sought a solution to track application performance, customer experience, and business metrics in real time.

After deploying New Relic, REA Group gained immediate visibility into its application stack, pinpointing database tier issues that were previously obscured. This initial success led to the adoption of additional New Relic products, empowering developers to proactively identify and resolve issues. With New Relic's cross-application tracing, REA Group facilitated its transition to a microservices architecture, allowing teams to work autonomously and deliver independently.

New Relic has been instrumental in REA Group's journey to the cloud. The company has experienced dramatic improvements in efficiency and innovation, enabling faster service delivery, improved code quality, and reduced rework. New Relic enables REA Group to scale efficiently and focus on its core mission of building and delivering new services.

Value Results:

  • Improved Code Quality: New Relic has helped REA Group improve the quality of code delivered, which will help them to reduce the amount of rework.

  • Reduced Time-to-Market: New Relic has helped REA Group shorten their time-to-market which allows them to deliver new services rapidly.

  • Faster Issue Resolution: New Relic reduced the time to diagnose issues from weeks to hours.

  • Proactive Problem Solving: New Relic helps REA Group developers be more proactive, fixing issues when they impact only 1% of users.
