Case Study: Match.com achieves seamless cloud migration and improved application performance with AppDynamics

Match.com finds love in the cloud with AppDynamics

Match.com, a 20+ year online dating service based in Dallas serving users in over 50 countries, faced the challenge of migrating key parts of its platform (including Match Affinity apps) to AWS without degrading performance or availability. The company’s complex, interlinked “Death Star” of applications and services made it difficult to see cross-system interactions and anticipate the latency and load effects of moving to the cloud.

By deploying AppDynamics, Match.com gained full‑stack, real‑time visibility and telemetry across applications, services and infrastructure, integrated into its deployment process. That insight let the team eliminate bottlenecks, reduce latency, and better plan for peak demand—resulting in smoother cloud migration, improved application performance, and the ability to handle 30–40% traffic spikes.
