Wayfair leverages InfluxDB to gain comprehensive visibility into system performance and user experience across its e-commerce platform. By implementing real user monitoring (RUM), Wayfair collects 50 million daily data points from eight sites, hundreds of page types, and thousands of devices—including mobile, tablet, and desktop. InfluxDB handles this massive time series influx, enabling real-time tracking of page load times, speed index, and content rendering to detect regressions from frequent code deployments. It powers instant dashboards, anomaly detection during traffic spikes like Cyber Five (3x-5x peaks), and predictive insights that optimize customer-facing performance—ensuring faster sites and superior shopping experiences.
