Ticketfly is a rapidly growing company that provides a data-driven ticketing and marketing platform for professional event promoters and venues in the United States and Canada. The company's growth has brought its own set of challenges. As the company gears up for another summer concert season, it is aware that its system will undergo an immense amount of stress. To prepare for that, the company needs to achieve a 10x increase in site performance. For Ticketfly, site performance is far from a vague ideal — it’s a business imperative. Event attendees are looking to spend their discretionary time on a first-rate experience and they have zero tolerance for slow or unresponsive systems in any part of the process. If Ticketfly messes up, it's bad for them, but it's even worse for the venues. They provide key support to those venues. Their success is linked to Ticketfly's. And the more popular Ticketfly gets, the more insight it needs to maintain the highest levels of performance.

The platform provides visibility into pageviews per minute, throughput, and error rates. It also allows the company to visualize overall performance and respond quickly to sudden surges in traffic by spinning up instances in the cloud. By instrumenting Ticketfly’s revenue data through the New Relic dashboard, the company is able to generate up-to-the-minute reports on sales performance. The New Relic Platform stores all of Ticketfly’s favorite metrics in a single view, helping the company achieve instant visibility into an increasingly complex environment.
