For more than a decade, Cookpad, a global platform for recipe sharing and search, has relied on APM tools to monitor critical application performance metrics, like server response times and resource usage. When their previous APM tool became too expensive after price increases, they needed to find a new solution that could check all of their boxes:
- Deep, context-rich metrics
- Support for Ruby on Rails and their tech stack out of the box
- Retain detailed data over time for historical analysis
- Reasonable pricing that scaled
Letting Scout cook
Scout offered Cookpad what they needed: transaction-level insights to pinpoint slow components, alerts for response time and throughput at the endpoint level, and predictable, developer-friendly pricing.
“Scout can track and provide developers with insights for performance improvement. This helps us deliver a better experience to our users.” — Cookpad Engineering Team
After adopting Scout, Cookpad was also able to effectively do all of the following:
- Improved both application performance and efficiency
- Independently monitor and investigate performance issues on demand
- Receive alerts on key metrics to proactively detect and resolve anomalies
