Case Study: Leading FinTech Company accelerates product engineering through unified AWS ECS/Fargate & CloudWatch logging with Apica

How a leading fintech company running microservices on AWS ECS, accelerated its product engineering efforts with Apica

An established fintech that partners with financial institutions to expand access to banking services was building products with distributed external teams and microservices running on AWS (ECS, Fargate, Lambda). They faced fragmented logging and inconsistent documentation across stacks, limited operational visibility, slow log analysis, and the need to ensure external collaborators only saw the metrics relevant to them.

Apica ingested CloudWatch, ECS/Fargate and Lambda logs (via an AWS Lambda exporter) into a single pane, centralized monitoring and applied LOG2Metrics to convert logs into time-series metrics. The platform enabled fast queries (<5s on 30-day data), quicker developer iteration, proactive detection of issues, and role-based access control so internal and external teams only see authorized data.
