Monitoring is as important as application development to keep an application running healthy for the best user experience. For this reason, a strong monitoring strategy is essential for your company's success, ensuring that metrics such as constant performance, high availability, and accessibility are never a concern. Many businesses neglect the importance of frontend monitoring for their applications.

The most basic component of automated software development is a CI/CD pipeline. While the term "pipeline" has been used to describe a wide range of computer science concepts, we use it at CircleCI and throughout the DevOps industry to refer to the vast range of behaviors and activities that are involved in continuous integration (CI).

Heroku is a platform for deploying, running, and managing applications, which is written in a variety of programming languages, including Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, and others. Heroku's goal is to free you up to focus on your applications rather than infrastructure management. Logging is usually included in infrastructure management. Heroku provides a high-level log maintenance tool. In this Heroku logging article, we'll learn how to get the most out of Heroku logs.

The jitter and latency are the characteristics related to the flow in the application layer. Jitter and latency are the metrics used to assess the network's performance. The major distinction between jitter and latency is that latency is defined as a delay via the network, whereas jitter is defined as a change in the amount of latency. Increases in jitter and latency have a negative impact on network performance, therefore it's critical to monitor them regularly.

Software engineering teams are continually seeking methods to improve and speed up the software development process. DevOps, an engineering methodology that brings development and operations together, is one popular strategy. Development and operations teams are frequently isolated in traditional engineering companies, which can lead to conflict between these two vital arms.

Metrics and runtime characteristics for application server monitoring are critical for the applications running on each server. Monitoring also helps to prevent or manage possible problems promptly. Apache Tomcat is one of the most widely used servers for Java applications. JMX beans or a monitoring tool like MoSKito or JavaMelody can be used in Tomcat performance monitoring.
