Climate Corporation Helps Farmers Around the World Improve Crop Production with AWS and New Relic

Climate Corporation, a digital agriculture company, leverages data-driven solutions to help farmers optimize crop yields through its Climate FieldView platform, which collects and visualizes field data to support critical agricultural decisions. The platform is built on microservices within Amazon Web Services (AWS) and has expanded from a U.S. startup to a global enterprise, necessitating scalable monitoring solutions to ensure consistent service performance. Initially using both New Relic APM 360 and open-source Prometheus for monitoring, Climate Corporation eventually standardized on New Relic, valuing its comprehensive observability tools and ease of integration. This transition allows developers to focus on their core tasks by automating monitoring processes and utilizing features like distributed tracing to maintain efficient service delivery, such as the timely distribution of satellite imagery to farmers. The partnership with New Relic has enabled Climate Corporation to advance its DevOps capabilities, reducing monitoring complexities and allowing developers more time to innovate and enhance their offerings.
