Case Study: Scopely drives revenue by reducing API response time with New Relic

Scopely Drives Revenue by Reducing API Response Time with Help from New Relic

Scopely, a fast-growing co-developer and publisher of multiplayer mobile games, faced mounting performance and scalability challenges as hits like Mini Golf MatchUp drove massive traffic—nearly two billion API requests per week. Rapid release cycles and frequent store-feature spikes exposed database bottlenecks and rising API response times that threatened user experience and revenue.

By deploying New Relic across its AWS/.NET backend, Scopely gained end-to-end visibility into API lifecycles with a central dashboard, database-level reports and error alerts, enabling the team to pinpoint and reduce slow, high-throughput queries and monitor staging releases. The result was faster API responses, reliable scaling during traffic surges, quicker feature rollouts and improved monetization as players complete more actions and receive more notifications and ads.
