Operational Impact
The use of New Relic's application performance monitoring (APM) led to a significant cultural shift within FARFETCH. The entire organization recognized the value of technical performance in its marketplace. Emerging from the Core Web Vitals crisis, the engineering team can now effectively showcase the significance of improvements with data. FARFETCH achieved remarkable improvements in technical performance, with an almost 10% enhancement in TTI, a 40% improvement in LCP, and a substantial reduction in response times on the API ranking service, from nine seconds to one. The influence of various third-party services on performance was acknowledged, and benchmarks were utilized to assess the impact of adding or removing specific microservices. These metrics also enabled FARFETCH to place performance within a broader industry context. | |
