Case Study: Care.com achieves faster problem resolution and improved application performance with AppDynamics

Care.com selects AppDynamics to monitor critical production applications

Care.com, the world’s largest online care marketplace with 9.7 million members across 16 countries, connects families with caregivers and provides tools like background checks and monitored messaging. To keep critical applications responsive, the engineering team relied on open-source monitoring and manual log-traversal, which proved slow and couldn’t pinpoint intermittent memory and garbage-collection issues or other root causes.

Care.com implemented AppDynamics to monitor production applications, gaining real-time visibility into performance and memory usage. This allowed the team to identify elusive performance problems, improve code quality in development, and reduce mean time to repair.
