Summary

Peloton Cycle, a technology company based in New York City, is revolutionizing the fitness industry with its indoor-cycling bike equipped with a 22-inch HD touchscreen. To deliver high-quality video feeds and minimize latency for real-time features like leaderboards, Peloton uses Datadog to monitor its AWS-based cloud infrastructure and collect custom user-experience metrics. By deploying full-stack observability, including application performance monitoring (APM), Peloton engineers can identify inefficiencies, trace code in the wild, and improve the user experience while scaling rapidly with speed. Within 30 days of implementing APM, the team reduced response times by a factor of three or more, significantly improving user engagement and overall application performance.
