Case Study: ICON Health and Fitness improves application performance and exception visibility with ZeroTurnaround XRebel Local

ICON Health and Fitness fixes performance bugs and cuts request times to 35.4 ms with ZeroTurnaround

ICON Health and Fitness, the world's largest manufacturer of exercise equipment, sought tools to improve developer productivity and code quality for its team. The challenge was to gain better insight into application performance, identify inefficient database queries, and uncover the root cause of hidden exceptions within their numerous enterprise applications, some of which were critical B2B interfaces.

ZeroTurnaround's XRebel Local was implemented to provide real-time profiling during development. The solution immediately identified the source of performance bottlenecks and exceptions, including a critical API disagreement with a business partner that could have led to data corruption. As a result, ICON's developers now leave XRebel Local running constantly due to its lack of perceivable overhead, giving them confidence that code issues are caught early, preventing potential production problems and downtime.
