Case Study: MoneySuperMarket achieves scalable, unified monitoring with MetricFire Hosted Graphite

MoneySuperMarket - Customer Case Study

MoneySuperMarket, the UK price comparison company, needed a scalable and affordable way to store and monitor a growing mix of operational, business, and user experience time-series data. Its DevOps team had been self-hosting Icinga/Graphite, but it was resource-heavy and hard to scale as the company expanded its microservices platform and monitoring needs.

MetricFire’s Hosted Graphite provided a unified, hosted monitoring backend with flexible schema, access control, sharing, annotations, and predictable pricing. MetricFire helped MoneySuperMarket migrate smoothly, and the team now uses it for all monitoring across the stack, with quick support and no service loss even when metric volumes spiked. The result was less engineering time spent on infrastructure and more focus on core product work, security, compliance, and recovery targets, while supporting a platform that runs 800+ non-production instances each weekday.
