Case Study: Aptos Labs improves Kubernetes observability and troubleshooting with groundcover

How Aptos Labs scales Kubernetes observability with groundcover, improving monitoring, user experience & total cost of ownership for long-term growth

Aptos Labs, a blockchain technology company building a Layer 1 blockchain, faced significant challenges with its monitoring stack. The company relied on a fragmented set of tools including VictoriaMetrics Cloud and Grafana, which proved unreliable and complicated for troubleshooting their high-performance, Kubernetes-based infrastructure. This hybrid setup lacked scalability and made it difficult to achieve a unified view of their systems, leading the team to seek a more robust and cost-efficient observability solution from groundcover.

By implementing groundcover's observability platform, Aptos Labs gained comprehensive, automated monitoring of its Kubernetes environment. The solution provided deep, correlated insights by unifying metrics, logs, and infrastructure events into a single, intuitive view. This migration resulted in much faster troubleshooting, improved reliability for their monitoring backend, and a more intuitive user experience, allowing the team to quickly detect and resolve complex infrastructure issues.
