Case Study: REA Group achieves faster time-to-market and real-time application insight with New Relic

REA Group Uses DevOps and New Relic to Stay on Top of the Property Search Market

REA Group is a leading global property marketing company that operates sites such as realestate.com.au and a range of international portals, serving tens of millions of visits and millions of app downloads each month. As it shifted from infrequent “big‑bang” releases to continuous delivery, microservices and cloud adoption, the company struggled with limited real‑time visibility into application performance, customer experience and business metrics—making deployments error‑prone and slow to diagnose.

To address this, REA implemented New Relic (APM, Browser, Mobile, Plugins and Synthetics) to gain end‑to‑end, cross‑application visibility and tracing. The platform cut diagnosis time from weeks to hours, enabled proactive fixes, supported microservices and AWS migration, shortened feedback cycles, improved code quality and accelerated time‑to‑market.
