Case Study: IG Markets achieves 30% increased throughput and reduced MTTR with AppDynamics

IG increases platform throughput by 30 percent with AppDynamics

IG Markets, the UK’s largest CFD and spread-betting platform, needed to ensure ultra-low latency across its web trading applications because slow pricing or trade execution drives customers away. With a complex, distributed architecture, development, QA and operations struggled to quickly find and fix performance bottlenecks that could impact revenue.

IG deployed AppDynamics, which provided out-of-the-box visibility and business-transaction context without code changes, enabling teams to pinpoint issues across the stack. The result: faster mean-time-to-recovery, better collaboration between dev/QA/ops, QA gained actionable insights for load and resiliency tests, and a single code change identified through AppDynamics boosted throughput by about 30%.
