Software analytics company New Relic, Inc. (NYSE:NEWR) announced today that FlightStats, Inc., a leader in flight data services and solutions to customers serving the global travel industry, has realized more than $300,000 in savings to-date on their software architecture since deploying the New Relic Software Analytics Platform. With New Relic’s platform, FlightStats has been able to see how efficiently their systems are operating and prioritize areas they can optimize.

With more than five million unique visitors per month and delivering nearly 100 million impressions across the web and mobile devices, FlightStats recognized it as critical to have visibility into the performance of their services and customers’ experience. New Relic has enabled FlightStats to achieve these objectives and identify areas for optimization and savings by:

● Supporting a Data-Driven Culture: FlightStats at its core is a data business helping organizations and travelers optimize their travel experience. New Relic Insights has provided FlightStats visibility into their data sources, their customers’ experience and performance of their applications through dashboards throughout the office that inform daily decisions on their business.
● Driving Agile Development and DevOps Methods: With New Relic Insights, FlightStats’ product teams now have much more targeted data to allow them to quickly deliver the highest quality software to market. In addition, the data and analytics New Relic delivers became a common language between FlightStats’ developers and IT engineers, which they found to reduce friction after products were deployed.
● Track and Redirect Data Scrapers: New Relic Browser showed who was scraping data from the FlightStats website and enabled the company to redirect that traffic to their paid APIs. As a result FlightStats was able to decrease scraper traffic from their website by 50 percent.
● Monitor and Migrate Workloads in the Cloud: When FlightStats identified the need for a centralized global data center they decided to migrate applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS). FlightStats has used New Relic APM and New Relic Server to identify which applications to move, how best to scale those resources economically, and how to decrease latency for customers through this hybrid cloud environment.
