Case Study: PriceSpider achieves distributed observability across multi-cloud platforms with AVM Consulting and Datadog

PriceSpider simplifies observability for millions of daily messages with AVM Consulting

AVM Consulting Inc worked with PriceSpider, a company that provides a commerce data platform for major brands. PriceSpider faced a significant challenge in monitoring its highly distributed multi-cloud environment, where millions of messages were processed daily, making it difficult to track data flow across services.

The solution from AVM Consulting involved building a shared data platform using Kafka and implementing a comprehensive observability model with Datadog. This included creating custom metric exporters for managed services, which allowed PriceSpider to use Datadog as a single pane of glass. This approach successfully simplified the platform's complexity for the PriceSpider team.
