Challenge	HealthifyMe, a health and fitness app based in India, was facing a significant challenge in managing its growing user base, particularly during peak periods such as after Diwali, Christmas, and the New Year. The app, which has over 35 million downloads and 1500-plus nutrition, fitness, and yoga coaches, was experiencing a two to three times spike in traffic during these periods, causing a tremendous system load. Additionally, the company was also dealing with the challenge of streamlining COVID-19 vaccination bookings when the government rollout was launched for people in India under the age of 45. The booking slots were in short supply, and the team needed to build a feature that would allow people to find nearby vaccination slots with ease. Read More

Solution	To address these challenges, HealthifyMe turned to New Relic, a software analytics company. With New Relic, HealthifyMe was able to create a single source of truth based on real-time data, which was integral to enhancing developer productivity and creating a sense of ownership among its developers.
