Case Study: Trulia achieves faster troubleshooting and improved web & mobile performance with New Relic

Trulia Makes Home Search Simpler with New Relic

Trulia, the San Francisco–based real estate tech company founded in 2005 that serves 55 million monthly home seekers and connects more than 77,000 agents, relies on rich neighborhood and property data to power its web and mobile experiences. With a complex, data‑intensive environment (LAMP, Solr, Hadoop, Node.js) running on 1,000+ servers, Trulia struggled with fragmented monitoring tools that made diagnosing performance issues slow and resource-intensive.

By adopting New Relic’s APM, Servers, Browser, and Mobile products, Trulia gained real‑time visibility into web, API, and mobile performance, enabling faster root‑cause detection and resolving issues more quickly. The result: reduced mean time to resolution (equivalent to an extra staff member), stronger DevOps collaboration through performance hackathons, greater confidence for faster iterations, and a better experience for end users.
