Case Study: Steelcase achieves scalable real-time IoT monitoring and faster troubleshooting on Azure Kubernetes Service with Sysdig

Delivering scalable monitoring and troubleshooting for IoT Services on Azure Kubernetes Service

Steelcase, a global leader in office, education and healthcare furniture headquartered in Grand Rapids, builds Smart+Connected products that run as containerized microservices on Azure Kubernetes Service. As the company migrated from Rancher to AKS and scaled to five clusters and 700+ containers, it faced monitoring scalability limits and high time and effort to gain performance visibility and troubleshoot issues.

By deploying Sysdig’s cloud‑native visibility platform and agent, Steelcase got instant, out‑of‑the‑box dashboards (Spotlight), topology maps, Prometheus support and rich system‑call captures for deep forensics and drill‑down Kubernetes insight. The result was faster real‑time and historical metrics, reduced time to identify and resolve incidents, a smoother AKS transition, and expanded adoption across additional teams and projects while positioning the company for future security and observability needs.
