APM

The latest News and Information on Application Performance Monitoring and related technologies.

Detect and score application vulnerabilities

With AppDynamics and Cisco Secure Application, you can quickly identify where application vulnerabilities exist and gain insights as to how best to remediate them based on business risk observability. Let technology work for you by keeping up with the most recent vulnerabilities and help you prioritize what to remediate based on business risk.

Checkly adds deep synthetic monitoring to Coralogix with new integration

Starting today, Checkly users can send their traces from synthetics checks to Coralogix to view in-depth synthetic user data along with back-end APM based tracing. This gives SRE’s and Operations engineers a new insight into how the system is responding to automated synthetic tests of your service. For Checkly users, integrating with Coralogix data means it’s easy to correlate end-to-end user experience with backend performance, and track poor performance to its root cause.

And What About my User Experience?

Monitoring backend signals has been standard practice for years, and tech companies have been alerting their SRE and software engineers when API endpoints are failing. But when you’re alerted about a backend issue, it’s often your end users who are directly affected. Shouldn’t we observe and alert on this user experience issues early on? As frontend monitoring is a newer practice, companies often struggle to identify signals that can help them pinpoint user frustrations or performance problems.

What is an Anomaly? Avoiding False Positives in Watchdog Detected Anomalies

In 2018 Datadog released Watchdog to proactively detect anomalies on your observability data. But what defines an anomaly? How do you avoid false positives? At Datadog Summit London 2024, Nils Bunge, product manager at Datadog, shared the story of the creation of the first Datadog AI feature (Watchdog Alert), what we learned from it and how we applied those lessons to all the added AI functionalities across the years.

AI realism (part two)

Emotions are running high about AI technologies. In this 2-parter, I do my best to make a rational case for the state of AI, and how we can respond to it. This is the second part; catch up with part one here. Today, we’ll talk about developing a company culture that thrives on experimentation and unpredictability. I’ll describe the conditions that can keep a product company nimble and healthy during a period of rapid change, enabling it to take advantage of emerging technologies.

How an APM Alternative Helps You Do Observability Right

Every software-driven business strives for optimum performance and user experience. Observability—which allows engineering and IT Ops teams to understand the internal state of their cloud applications and infrastructure based on available telemetry data —has emerged as a crucial practice to help engage this process. For years, application performance monitoring (APM) was the de facto practice and tooling that organizations have used to keep tabs on their critical systems.

Datadog on Site Reliability Engineering #shorts #datadog #observability

There are many different ways to implement Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). From team structures to roles and responsibilities to planning and prioritization flows, there’s no golden path for how to organize things. As Datadog has shifted from a startup to a quickly-growing public company, we’ve seen our own SRE practice evolve. With over 22,000 customers sending trillions of data points each day, keeping Datadog reliable is critical to our business.
