Case Study: Carsales achieves real-time visibility and 5x faster issue detection with Sumo Logic

Carsales drives confidently towards the cloud with real-time insights from Sumo Logic

carsales, Australia’s leading online automotive classifieds business with a team of ~450 and millions of monthly users, was migrating from a legacy datacenter to the cloud. They needed a pure SaaS log-management and analytics solution that avoided additional infrastructure, provided instant full‑stack visibility across 150+ services, and allowed teams to detect issues before they impacted customers.

Within three weeks carsales deployed Sumo Logic to monitor 100+ servers, giving real-time dashboards, alerts and easy log querying. The platform reduced average response times from hours to minutes, empowered developers with instant access to logs, increased ownership and QA, enabled proactive issue detection, and helped identify breaches up to five times faster.
