Build the ROI Case for Improving Employee Digital Experience

Budgeting for user experience management solutions has been dynamic recently. When the pandemic hit, corporations freely opened the purse strings to ensure that employees had the tools to work outside the traditional office. The Return on Investment (ROI) for improving the overall Digital Employee Experience (DEX) didn't matter so much. With inflation now the main topic in executive meetings, the strings for DEM/DEX investments have been drawn tighter. Gartner has published a report titled "Market Guide for Digital Experience Monitoring" which states that "enterprises that invest in DEM solutions can expect a 30% reduction in Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and a 20% reduction in downtime."

Debugging tips for common issues with cloud-based applications

Debugging in a cloud environment can be tricky, as it involves multiple layers of abstraction and virtualization. Unlike traditional on-premise environments, cloud environments are highly distributed and dynamic, making it challenging to identify and troubleshoot issues. One of the biggest challenges with debugging cloud applications is the need for more visibility into the underlying infrastructure and the complexity of the application architecture. Fortunately, pinpointing and resolving the cause of the issue is much more manageable with server-side monitoring, detailed error reporting and cloud debugging solutions.

Prioritizing Defects with the New Auto Grouping Feature

BugSplat's new auto-grouping feature is a powerful way to automatically group crashes in a way that's meaningful to your team. Normally, crashes are grouped by the top of the call stack. But sometimes this grouping isn't ideal. For example, if the top of your call stack is KERNELBASE!RaiseException (a Windows OS function) you'd probably prefer the crashes were grouped by a different stack frame. That's what BugSplat's auto-grouping feature does!

How to use Elasticsearch and Time Series Data Streams for observability metrics

Elasticsearch is used for a wide variety of data types — one of these is metrics. With the introduction of Metricbeat many years ago and later our APM Agents, the metric use case has become more popular. Over the years, Elasticsearch has made many improvements on how to handle things like metrics aggregations and sparse documents. At the same time, TSVB visualizations were introduced to make visualizing metrics easier.

Profiling from Sentry: Identify and Eliminate Performance Bottlenecks with Code-level Insight

Users are complaining about slow load times and you’ve thrown logs, traces, and metrics — heck, the entire kitchen sink of performance monitoring — at your application, but you still can’t figure out the source of the bottleneck. Maybe you missed adding instrumentation to something in the critical path, or you’re simply testing in an environment vastly different from the ones your users are experiencing in production.
