Challenge
- Workday’s key customer-facing application, “as critical as the engine in a car or a heart inside a human,” suffered from serious performance issues.
Solution
- Over the course of a three-year journey, Workday moved from 0% use of Azul Platform Prime as its JVM to nearly a complete transition to Azul Platform Prime throughout its core services.
Result
- Azul Platform Prime reduced total pause time per JVM from 40,000 seconds per week to 14 seconds per week.
- Improved vertical scalability from 200GB to over 6TB.
- Improved operational efficiency managing its Java runtime by over 95%.
- This eliminated over 42,000 person-hours across an 18-month period that would have been spent on performance tuning and troubleshooting.
- Saved millions of dollars while freeing its developers to do more productive work.
