Case Study: Raygun boosts application throughput by 2,000% with Microsoft .NET Core

App performance monitoring provider increases throughput by 2,000 percent with .NET Core

Raygun, a New Zealand-based application performance monitoring provider, faced performance degradation and rising costs in its Node.js API, which processed billions of error data points daily. To address the challenge of maximizing performance on its existing servers, the company turned to Microsoft and its .NET Core platform.

Microsoft's solution involved porting the API from Node.js to the open-source .NET Core, which allowed Raygun's developers to use their existing C# skills. This migration resulted in an immediate and massive performance boost, with throughput increasing by 2,000 percent. By implementing the solution from Microsoft, Raygun achieved a 60 percent reduction in its server count while gaining the capacity to handle traffic spikes more efficiently, leading to significant cost savings.
