Case Study: Kairos achieves simpler, more affordable application monitoring with AppSignal

Why AppSignal Is a Great Alternative to New Relic and Datadog for Kairos

Kairos, a B2B SaaS company providing a digital planning platform for elite sports teams, faced challenges with unpredictable pricing and complex, non-intuitive interfaces from providers like New Relic and Datadog. Their five-person engineering team needed a more affordable and user-friendly application performance monitoring solution, which led them to AppSignal.

By implementing AppSignal, Kairos gained an easy-to-use monitoring tool with an intuitive interface that significantly reduced the learning curve for their team. The solution provided critical features like error tracking against deploys and performance tracing, which helped them quickly debug issues and optimize their application. As a result, the team can now access data intuitively without handholding, ensuring their Ruby on Rails app handling 10 million requests performs efficiently on their Kubernetes infrastructure.
