I recently worked on a customer project to migrate an in-house application to the cloud, using a shift-left monitoring and testing strategy.

The majority of users continually depend on a variety of web applications to meet their everyday needs, so a business’s success is now often proportionate to the success of its application performance. As a result, the importance of using an appropriate APM solution has become even greater to businesses globally. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) still continues to grow in popularity and is now considered a must for observing the health and performance of your organization's applications.

But with an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool, you can gain deep visibility into your application’s performance by tracking critical metrics.
