Best Practices for Effectively Managing Java Application Performance

Java-based applications are powering many business-critical IT services today and Java technology is widely used as the middleware on which the business logic of multi-tier infrastructures reside. Since the performance of the Java middleware tier has a significant impact on the performance of the business services it supports, monitoring is a necessity and not a choice.

Application Performance Monitoring

Application Performance Monitoring enables the site owners to monitor and measure the performance and efficiency of their business applications to ensure whether their application performs up to the level defined. Using application performance monitoring you can discern and pinpoint the performance-related issues or any other abnormalities that arise in your application before your end-user experiences it. Get to know your bugs or errors at the earliest possible moment.

Datadog on Serverless

The Datadog Security Platform team leverages Serverless to ingest security events across many different cloud providers, deployment platforms, and devices. These security events are then transformed and shipped to a data lake to help defend and protect the platform as a whole. Once there, these ingested events are used to drive internal investigations, create internal security alerts, and reason about security incidents.

Application Performance Management for Microservices with Sumo Logic

Distributed tracing allows you to track the execution of your user's transactions by following them between applications’ microservices. It provides easy to understand visualizations of transactional lifespan with the ability to pinpoint any slowdowns and errors in response to microservices. During my presentation at Illuminate, I shared that we extended the Sumo Logic platform to cover application performance use cases.

The top 13 APM tools in 2020

From increased uptime and improved user experiences to reduced risks and decreased expenses, application performance monitoring provides organizations with several business benefits that enable them to move faster than their competitors and deliver more value to their users. For this reason, it comes as no surprise that the market for application performance monitoring (APM) tools is expected to reach nearly $5 billion in 2020, an impressive uptick from the $2.72 billion the market hauled in during 2014.

Debug application issues with APM and Network Performance Monitoring

With the advanced containerization that has become the norm in the modern cloud, your infrastructure is likely more distributed, and thus more exposed to networking issues, than ever before. When troubleshooting application performance issues, this can make it difficult to link the symptoms you observe through monitoring the “golden signals” (requests, latency, and errors) on individual endpoints in your application to their underlying root causes.
