New Relic helps nonprofit CareerVillage enter the AI era

CareerVillage.org has evolved into a key resource for education and career advancement by leveraging a robust technological infrastructure that supports millions of students. Utilizing technologies like Django, React, and New Relic, the organization efficiently manages its diverse environments and databases, ensuring a seamless user experience. Initially, New Relic was instrumental in diagnosing and resolving server issues, allowing the platform to expand its capacity for concurrent users. Recent developments include the introduction of an AI career coach, which uses a combination of third-party and proprietary AI technologies to offer personalized career guidance and learning experiences for both students and adult learners. This AI tool is closely monitored for performance and consistency using New Relic, which remains central to the organization's observability strategy, allowing them to focus on enhancing user-facing features without expanding the team solely for infrastructure monitoring. Through their Observability for Good Social Impact program, CareerVillage.org also extends free and discounted access to their observability platform to nonprofits, reinforcing their commitment to equitable access to technology.
