NewStore offers an omnichannel store solution for global retail brands. Their integration layer is entirely serverless, with each customer having their own dedicated AWS accounts for the various stages needed including production and staging. By setting a standard for all integrators to use AWS, NewStore is able to help customers on their journey from initial setup through to CI/CD and ongoing monitoring, and can easily jump in to help when issues arise.
NewStore recognized the need for visibility on how all of its own and its customers’ integrations were running. There is the need to run smoothly and consistently, particularly as its business model is based on revenue share. If its customers weren’t making any money, NewStore wouldn’t either.

Dashbird is fully integrated with the integration layer of NewStore, running on AWS, notifying the team on every crash or reporting issue and catching a wide scope of errors previously not found.

When an issue comes up, we want to know where it’s located, and we do with Dashbird.
NewStore also uses Dashbird to provide Lambda analysis, using select channels for reporting and exposure. The use of webhooks and emails help to quickly inform the technical customer support team while creating cases to specific problems, all enabling faster investigation and remediation. It shows greater proactiveness to the customer and means less firefighting internally.
NewStore also worked closely with Dashbird on building a roadmap of features, including the recently launched Metric Alerts. The feature monitors SQS queues and API gateways for NewStore finding anomalies and issues earlier on
