Case Study: MyRacePass achieves 5-minute error diagnosis and scalable performance monitoring with Stackify Retrace

MyRacePass Goes Full Throttle With Retrace

MyRacePass, a fast-growing motorsports web platform that moved to a cloud-based AWS environment, faced increasing crashes and the challenge of diagnosing errors on ephemeral instances—especially during mission-critical race nights. After testing several tools, the team adopted Stackify’s Retrace to gain application performance monitoring, error tracking, and centralized logging tailored to their cloud and ephemeral-instance needs.

Stackify’s Retrace provided centralized logs, retroactive off-instance data capture, app scoring, Slack alerts, and multi-user access so DevOps, QA, and developers could collaborate quickly. The result: MyRacePass can pinpoint errors and performance issues within about 5–10 minutes, dramatically cutting diagnosis time, reducing development overhead during peak events, and enabling their small team to scale without adding full-time resources.
