The latest News and Information on Application Performance Monitoring and related technologies.
Since early 2020, there has been a massive growth in the number of active Microsoft Teams users and organizations deploying Teams; now, there are more than 200 million monthly active users across the globe.

Built on the V8 JavaScript engine of Chrome, Node.js is a very lightweight, open-source framework with minimum modules. And since it is an asynchronous system by default, it is faster than most other frameworks. DevOps still need Node.js monitoring to ensure performance better than other frameworks. In order to understand how relevant Node.js still is, note that PayPal, Reddit, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix and other high-use, high-visibility service providers use the framework.
Javascript execution analysis on dev environments is easy—just use Google Developer or some other free tools. However, getting the same level of analysis while your application is being used by a real user is much harder. You can’t possibly ask the end-user to help you troubleshoot.
