Case Study: Discovery Education achieves faster issue resolution and improved application performance with New Relic

Discovery Education Starts the School Year With New Relic

Discovery Education is a leading provider of digital content and professional development for K–12 classrooms, serving 3 million educators and over 30 million students across half of U.S. classrooms and more than 40% of U.K. primary schools. Facing a surge in usage at the start of each school year, the company needed better visibility into its application portfolio to ensure availability and performance and to reduce incident resolution time.

Discovery Education implemented New Relic APM and New Relic Browser to create a consolidated dashboard and end-to-end visibility across its systems. The team can now proactively detect and resolve issues faster, automatically monitor new servers, and pinpoint frontend improvements—enabling performance optimizations, supporting a DevOps culture, and helping the organization maintain reliable digital services for classrooms.
