Global vertical farming company reduces
monitoring spend by 58% by consolidating all observability needs
into New Relic
New Relic (NYSE: NEWR), the all-in-one observability platform
for every engineer, announced that fast-growing agritech and
vertical farming business Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) has
standardized on New Relic to fuel innovation and maintain instant
visibility over its ecosystem of indoor vertical farming towers. By
adopting New Relic, IGS has been able to reduce its monitoring
spend and free up its software development team to work on tasks
that help the company meet the growing demand for sustainable
agriculture solutions.
IGS is at the forefront of innovation in agritech with its
vertical farming growth towers that use artificial intelligence and
IoT technologies to provide a scalable, sustainable, and efficient
way to grow crops. The company’s cutting-edge systems give growers
precision control over every element of the growing environment,
from watering and nutrition to light, airflow and temperature. With
New Relic, IGS has access to more than 30 monitoring capabilities
that enables the company to detect and solve issues faster and more
efficiently than ever before.
“At IGS, our mission is to bring tasty, nutritious food to all
areas of the world. With a product that’s constantly evolving and a
tech landscape that is growing more complex by the day, we need to
go beyond application monitoring to see when and why an incident
occurred across our entire stack,” said Intelligent Growth
Solutions Founder and CTO Dave Scott. “By adopting New Relic,
we have been able to identify when issues happen, where they took
place, and what the impact will be. New Relic has given us the
freedom to take more risks and innovate faster with a live
product.”
Prior to using New Relic, IGS had to manually request access to
specific hosts and configure non-standard log forwarding to collect
application logs separate from their infrastructure logs, metrics,
traces, and events, which required countless hours and staffing
resources. The New Relic all-in-one approach helps IGS gain insight
into the performance of its system in real-time, allowing it to
identify trends and patterns that could impact the reliability and
availability of its vertical growth towers.
Implementations and benefits include:
- 80% reduction in resolution time: The engineering teams
went from resolving issues in approximately five hours to less than
an hour.
- 58% reduction in spend: The engineering team reduced
logging and monitoring spend by 58% by consolidating observability
needs to New Relic.
- Implementing proactive monitoring: The engineering team
moved from reactive to proactive monitoring with New Relic,
including the ability to see performance degradation and errors,
which could indicate instability.
- Improving developer productivity: The entire development
team can focus on tasks that deliver value to customers instead of
manually monitoring logging and infrastructure tools.
- Understanding relationships within microservices: The
engineering team is using New Relic logs in context to understand
relationships of its logs in context with its microservices
environment.
- Easy installation: The engineering team instrumented and
migrated 90% of its estate to New Relic in 1.5 days by adding the
New Relic application performance monitoring (APM) agent to
containerized workloads.
“Intelligent Growth Solutions brings together decades of farming
and engineering experience to create a technology business that
thrives on designing innovative solutions to some of the world's
most pressing challenges,” said New Relic EMEA CTO Greg
Ouillon. “We are thrilled to continue our valued partnership
with IGS and to provide the logging and infrastructure monitoring
framework that makes the next generation of agritech possible.”
