Key considerations when choosing the right application performance monitoring tool for your business

In today’s technology-driven world, applications are the lifeblood of businesses and the cornerstone of user interactions. From e-commerce platforms to social media networks, flawless application performance is no longer a mere expectation but a fundamental requirement for user satisfaction and business success. However, lurking beneath the surface of seemingly smooth operations lie potential pitfalls that can quickly transform a positive user experience into a nightmare.

Scaling Up, One Network Bottleneck at a Time #shorts #datadog

Processing data at scale involves moving packets through a network—but what happens when that network isn't cooperative? Anatole Beuzon, a Software Engineer at Datadog, discusses how he investigated and resolved network issues in Datadog’s larger data-processing apps and how you can apply these same methods to your own production workloads.

Three Pillars of Observability [And Beyond]

Observability is often defined in the context of three pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. Modern-day cloud-native applications are complex and dynamic. To avoid surprises and performance issues, you need a robust observability stack. But is observability limited to collecting logs, metrics, and traces? How is observability evolving to make our systems more observable? In this tutorial, we cover.

3 secure ways to handle user data in Raygun

You know the feeling: You’re right in the middle of cracking a really convoluted coding problem, when an urgent support ticket pops up. It’s not just any ticket; it’s from a VIP customer with a high-severity issue demanding resolution within an hour. You have to drop what you’re doing and scramble, completely context-switching and losing all your momentum.

Detecting PowerShell Exploitation

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. Hackers are continuously finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise systems. PowerShell, a powerful scripting language and automation framework developed by Microsoft, has unfortunately become a favored tool among attackers due to its capability to run.NET code and execute dynamic code downloaded from another system (or the internet) and execute it in memory without ever touching disk.

Analyze Transaction Scores to understand the impact of increased user activity

An increase in user activity can create a larger impact of degraded performance, should the systems not be fully tuned properly. A small problem could easily lead to an exponential one if not addressed quickly. The AppDynamics Transaction Scorecard helps you focus on any issue that grows as user access grows by providing a simple yet effective indication of how transactions perform according to one of five categories: normal, slow, very slow, stalled, or those that have errors.
