Case Study: Fan.TV achieves unified log and metric visibility and faster incident resolution with Scalyr

Fan.TV - Customer Case Study

Fan.TV, an entertainment discovery engine that helps people find and share movies and TV shows across streaming services, struggled with fragmented tooling for system metrics, server logs, and alerts. When servers “went boom” the team couldn’t easily correlate subsecond events across different dashboards due to timestamp and timezone mismatches and slow cross-tool searches, so Fan.TV evaluated many monitoring systems before choosing Scalyr — a single, lightning-fast log management, monitoring, and alerting platform.

Scalyr consolidated logs, metrics, and alerts into one interface, letting Fan.TV instantly search gigabytes of data, graph key system metrics, and correlate logs to events in near real time. As a result, Fan.TV significantly shortened time to diagnose and repair outages, reduced firefighting overhead, expanded log access to support and engineering teams, and enabled “Monitoring Driven Development” with dashboards that let developers see production-equivalent performance as they code — all delivered by Scalyr.
