Case Study: Taboola achieves major performance and infrastructure savings with Azul Systems

Taboola Serves Content to 1.4B People Each Month

Taboola, a media and content-discovery company serving 1.4 billion people each month, faced serious Java performance issues: servers would stop responding for up to 15 minutes during garbage collection, and repeated tuning attempts did not solve the problem. Taboola turned to Azul Systems and its Azul Prime platform to improve performance, stability, security, and memory utilization for its big data and cloud applications.

Azul Systems implemented Azul Platform Prime, helping Taboola eliminate major system stalls and run mission-critical Java workloads more efficiently. The results were significant: Taboola reduced its front-end server footprint by 30% and its database server footprint by 50%, saving millions of dollars and freeing up resources for other initiatives.
