Case Study: Dynatrace achieves rapid global scale, NoOps agility and faster deployments with Amazon Web Services

Dynatrace - Customer Case Study

Dynatrace, a digital performance management firm founded in 2005 that serves medium and large enterprises across finance, telecom, public sector and e‑commerce, faced a shift toward SaaS and global delivery. The company needed a more agile, highly available infrastructure to reach customers in multiple regions, speed time to market, and reduce long patch and provisioning lead times (previously up to three weeks) so engineers could focus on development instead of day‑to‑day operations.

Dynatrace migrated to AWS across multiple regions and Availability Zones, using EC2, Auto Scaling, CloudFormation and RDS to automate provisioning and scaling. The move enabled rapid cluster launches (hours), instance spin‑up in minutes, self‑healing across AZ outages, and major operational change—moving to "NoOps" with zero dedicated ops staff. Today Dynatrace runs ~400 instances, performs 150 deployments a day and ships major releases biweekly, achieving faster scaling, lower management overhead, and greater agility for innovation.
