Case Study: Pivotal achieves simple, scalable app monitoring and faster releases with New Relic

Pivotal Collaborates with New Relic to Deliver Simple, Adaptable Monitoring for Enterprise Environments

Pivotal is a platform and big-data software company (Cloud Foundry, Hadoop, Greenplum, etc.) that helps agile teams build, launch, and scale applications. Because its customers’ revenue and operations depend on always-available, high-performing apps, Pivotal needed a simple, cloud-native monitoring solution that would work at scale and integrate seamlessly with Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Web Services.

Pivotal partnered with New Relic and embedded instrumentation in the Java buildpack and PWS add-on marketplace for zero‑config monitoring. Customers gain instant, code-level visibility (including plugins for Groovy/Grails, RabbitMQ, Redis), faster troubleshooting, and real-time data for incremental feature rollouts—allowing Pivotal and its customers to improve reliability and speed releases without building their own monitoring infrastructure.
