## The use case: how Fairfax Media deploys New Relic

Fairfax Media uses New Relic across its infrastructure and development cycle to monitor website and application performance, set alerts, map architecture dependencies, simulate user journeys, and analyze customer usage. It also uses it to identify services to break into microservices and to find underused cloud servers to scale down after migrating to AWS.

> Previously we’ve had instances where it took hours to understand the source of a performance issue,” says Bridgman. “With New Relic, we’ve gone from hours of effort to a matter of minutes.

> New Relic really supports our DevOps approach because it empowers anyone to ask the right questions. As an engineer, I’m now able to see for myself without having to ask a developer what’s happening.
