Case Study: Return Path achieves real-time troubleshooting and subsecond log search with Scalyr

Return Path - Customer Case Study

Return Path, a leading email data solutions provider, struggled to get value from its server logs: a previous logging solution was slow, used by only two engineers, and delayed new data by about five minutes, making real-time troubleshooting impossible. To solve this, Return Path turned to Scalyr for faster log consolidation, search, and analysis.

Scalyr delivered subsecond searches (down from about one minute) and real-time ingestion, which drove adoption from two users to the entire engineering team plus product managers, SecOps, and the VP of engineering. Scalyr’s integrated monitoring, alerting, and dashboards (over 50 custom charts, graphs, and tables) let Return Path replace other tools like Pingdom, handle 120GB of logs per day, respond to support tickets faster, and ultimately pay less for a more capable solution.
