The Container Store Puts Application Issues in a Box with AppDynamics

Key Benefits

Deployed AppDynamics and set up alerts to notify a developer when repeat problems occurred


Operations began performing daily load testing and performance testing


Deviations from The Container Store's baseline, along with any errors, were found and fixed in the test environment

Challenges

The operations team at The Container Store lacked the tools to proactively uncover performance issues, and they worried about the toll that continued outages and slowdowns were taking on customers.

Operations only learned of an issue after a problem or outage had already had an impact on a customer.

“We've yet to find a data point that we cannot get from AppDynamics.”
