The Challenge
Following a large-scale migration to Azure, a major healthcare provider experienced extreme performance degradation. Transaction times spiked to nearly 60 seconds, threatening patient portal reliability. The internal reflex was to vertically scale hardware—a move that would have added thousands in monthly OpEx without addressing underlying architectural flaws.
Strategic Intervention
Azure Diagnostics
Utilized Azure Monitor and App Insights to profile architecture and identify high-frequency thread contention occurring post-migration.
Performance Profiling
Applied dotTrace to isolate blocking API calls, revealing legacy on-premises data retrieval patterns incompatible with the cloud topography.
Precision Remediation
Refactored inefficient blocking calls into non-blocking patterns, reducing transaction times to sub-second responses using existing resources.
Configuration Audit
Conducted a comprehensive audit against Azure best practices, remediating misconfigured settings to unlock immediate stability and scalability.
