How is Application Performance Management Different from Application Performance Monitoring?
Application Management
The first significant difference is being application-aware and focused. Most application performance monitoring tools measure performance in some way, but they rarely understand the application’s overall context.
For example, checking if https://google.com works will only tell you whether the site is up or down. It makes no sense that the site might be running on a dozen load-balanced servers.
Most APM solutions automatically identify and track all of your applications across all environments. This includes both pre-production and production environments.
To track and manage their applications, development teams need a few things:
- Application type (web, background service, etc)
- Installed locations & number of server instances
- Deployment history
- Application availability/uptime (SLAs)
- Web application traffic/usage
- Performance indicators (response times, satisfaction scores, etc)
- Error rates
These details help developers understand what is happening with their applications. Thanks to Cavisson’s end to end observability solution, they now have the solution they need to successfully manage their critical applications and ensure exceptional customer experience.
