Case Study: 20 Minutes achieves faster, more stable publishing platform with New Relic

20 Minutes Leads the News Thanks to New Relic

20 Minutes is a leading free daily in France with more than 21 million readers and over 7 million monthly unique visitors to 20minutes.fr. The news outlet consolidated web and print workflows into a single PHP-based publishing platform used by all journalists, but a fast rewrite and tight deadlines left the new backend riddled with errors and poor performance.

By deploying New Relic APM for real-time, code-level visibility, the team identified and fixed performance bottlenecks within a month, improving stability, error rates and search rankings. New Relic dashboards now provide continuous monitoring across the organization, helping developers maintain higher-quality releases and supporting the publisher’s move toward cloud and modern tooling.
