The leading marketplace for car sharing in India and emerging markets is consolidating all observability needs to New Relic to deliver superior experiences to over 5 million people
BANGALORE, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Zoomcar revolutionized mobility for over 5 million people across 45 cities worldwide. Its cutting-edge platform allows users to book, unlock, and return cars without the need to meet owners face-to-face. One of the key factors that drove Zoomcar to choose New Relic was its ability to scale alongside Zoomcar’s rapidly growing business.
Before New Relic, Zoomcar took a significant amount of time to detect problems and pinpoint exactly where they were coming from, due to having multiple open-source tools in their observability stack. They had limited visibility or end-to-end monitoring, and their siloed system caused engineers to spend much of their time finding the root cause of application issues.
“As a market leader in India’s car sharing industry, Zoomcar needs best-of-breed observability across its network, infrastructure, and applications to drive system resilience, which is why New Relic is such a valued partner,” said Zoomcar Associate Director DevSecOps, Mohit Kumar.
“The New Relic all-in-one observability platform has been a core pillar of our growth and in delivering excellence to our customers. We are thrilled to continue to grow our partnership with New Relic, and see the continued impact of its data-driven approach,” said Zoomcar VP of Engineering, Vishal Ramrakhyani.
The New Relic all-in-one approach helps the Zoomcar team gain insight into the performance of its applications in real-time. The addition of synthetics monitoring enables its applications to work and track better, and infrastructure monitoring creates stronger communication between all services, allowing the engineering team to identify trends and patterns that could impact system reliability. Zoomcar is also able to handle increased transaction volumes and expanding operational demands without compromising on performance or customer experience.
Implementations and benefits include:
- 50% reduction in backend service resource usage: No longer experiences high memory usage or an unresponsive system by optimizing their resources and reducing cloud costs.
- 60% reduction in database CPU usage: Significant drop in CPU usage (from 80% to 20%) since consolidating its observability needs to New Relic.
- 30% reduction in MTTD and MTTR: The engineering team improved their overall detection, acknowledgment, and resolution time.
- 4% increase in checkout volume: APM and customer dashboards allow the engineering team to seamlessly handle surges in end-user traffic, leading to a 4% increase in checkout volume.
- Increased productivity: By integrating New Relic alerts and AIOps within PagerDuty and Slack, the engineering team established SLOs and SLAs, empowering them to troubleshoot issues quickly.
- Customized innovation: New Relic dashboards have driven tracking of daily engineering metrics like uptime and error rates across all microservices, as well as daily product metrics like searches and bookings on the platform. Car performance and the Zoomcar guest chat function are also monitored by New Relic, which creates seamless communication between the owner and renter.
“Zoomcar is an industry innovator, bringing best of breed car sharing services to Indian consumers,” New Relic Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific & Japan Kris Day. “Keeping and staying ahead of the competition requires an all-in-one observability solution, and we are thrilled that the business has chosen to consolidate with New Relic to drive its future success.”
