Company Introduction

Drezga is a Croatia-based technology company dedicated to developing innovative digital solutions for public institutions and businesses. Their platforms are designed to improve efficiency, transparency, and user engagement across various sectors. With a strong focus on usability and scalability, Drezga continues to play a key role in driving digital transformation throughout the region.

The Challenge: Managing Application Growth Without Compromising Visibility

As Drezga rapidly expanded its digital platform and onboarded more users, complexity soared across their application and infrastructure layers exposing critical visibility gaps that threatened performance and user experience:

  • Fragmented Insights: Their existing tools provided siloed data across application performance, APIs, infrastructure, and logs, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint root causes quickly.
  • Slow Incident Response: Engineering teams wasted precious time toggling between disparate tools to manually correlate errors, increasing Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) during outages and slowdowns.
  • API Bottlenecks Out of Sight: Growing API traffic meant frequent spikes and slow endpoints that went undetected without detailed, request-level analytics.
  • Infrastructure Blind Spots: Monitoring CPU, memory, and I/O metrics across distributed environments lacked the precision needed to identify performance degradation early.
  • Costly Resource Inefficiencies: Without a unified view, over-provisioning and under-utilization drove up operational costs and hampered scaling efforts.

To overcome these challenges, Drezga needed a centralized observability platform—one that could unify application insights, API behavior, logs, and infrastructure health into a single, cohesive view to ensure proactive performance management and seamless scaling.

Why Drezga Chose Atatus?

Facing growing complexity and visibility gaps, Drezga needed more than just monitoring—they needed a unified, all-in-one observability platform that could scale with them and simplify operations. After evaluating several options, Drezga chose Atatus because:

  • Unify Performance Data: Correlate metrics, logs, and traces within a single workflow breaking down silos and eliminating fragmented tools to enable faster, more accurate troubleshooting across services.
  • Gain Real-Time Insights: Detect slow endpoints, error patterns, and anomalies early through intuitive dashboards and proactive alerts, ensuring issues are addressed before impacting users.
  • Enhance Reliability & Optimize Resources: Achieve deep visibility into system health and resource usage, reducing unexpected downtime, streamlining operations, and supporting efficient scaling.

With Atatus, Drezga gained a centralized observability solution that turned data silos into actionable intelligence enabling faster troubleshooting, improved performance, and confident scaling.

Democratizing Observability for a High-Growth Platform

As Drezga’s user base and platform complexity grew, fragmented monitoring tools created dangerous blind spots and delayed incident response during peak traffic. Without unified dashboards, correlating logs, metrics, and traces was a tedious, error-prone process that extended mean time to recovery (MTTR). By adopting Atatus, Drezga centralized its observability stack, streamlining debugging workflows and gaining comprehensive, real-time visibility across their entire infrastructure and application layers.

Breaking Silos with End-to-End Observability

From day one, Drezga leveraged Atatus fully integrated suite—combining APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Log Management. This unified setup eliminated fragmented tooling and gave engineering teams a holistic, correlated view of platform health and performance. Armed with Atatus intuitive dashboards, engineers quickly traced performance bottlenecks down to specific code-level issues or infrastructure constraints—often catching problems before they impacted customers.

The result: Reducing Downtime, Boosting Developer Confidence

"Atatus is no longer just a monitoring tool, it’s part of our product development workflow. We don’t ship without it" — Budimir Skrtic, IT Manager

Drezga’s core search API was experiencing high response times, but Atatus distributed tracing quickly uncovered a backend cache timeout. Correlated logs and metrics revealed a database configuration issue, allowing the team to fix the problem in minutes rather than hours.

Beyond APM, Drezga also utilized Atatus Infrastructure and Synthetic Monitoring to continuously test uptime and optimize resource allocation. This led to:

  • 30% reduction in cloud resource wastage
  • 2x faster deployment confidence due to API-level performance checks
  • Minimized handovers between development and operations teams
