Case Study: Cruise achieves proactive Kubernetes cluster health monitoring with BlazeMeter

Cruise monitors 60+ Kubernetes clusters with BlazeMeter

Cruise, an autonomous vehicle company, faced the challenge of monitoring the uptime and health of over 60 internal Kubernetes clusters used by their developers. They needed a reliable API monitoring solution that could work on their internal network and also be used by developers to monitor their own services. Cruise turned to BlazeMeter for its API monitoring capabilities to address this need.

The solution implemented used BlazeMeter to continuously monitor clusters and internal APIs, serving as a first line of defense. Platform engineers and developers integrated tests with a single line of code, running 2.2 million calls daily. BlazeMeter’s integration with DataDog and PagerDuty enabled immediate incident notification to 450 users, allowing issues to be triaged and fixed before impacting customers. As a result, BlazeMeter provides Cruise with constant confidence in their cluster health and uptime.
