APM
(Application Performance Monitoring)
Why APM?
🤔
- Distributed/Cloud-Native application.
- Limited performance monitoring option.
- Provides only a single view of the application architecture.
- Hard to find the root cause of failures/errors.
Microservice based application
Client
API Gateway
k8s layer

Without APM
- Log/Trace collection of individual services is tedious due to distributed system.
- App Stack/Infra is a black box.
- Blame game within a team.
What is an APM tool?
Detect and pinpoint application performance.
Keep track of real-time application and system metrics such as resource consumption, response times, error rate, etc.
Provides mechanisms for configuring alerts.
Gives instant feedback regarding system failures

-
Make your process proactive.
-
Open the black box for you & give complete visibility.
-
Track and monitor performance of individual requests/transactions.
-
