Workday: Java-based SaaS for Millions of Workers

Infrastructure transformation eliminated 95% of operational issues.

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.

“I’m just as enthusiastic today about Azul Platform Prime as when I started out with the product ten years ago as a performance engineer. Azul removes the toil in operations.”
