The Future of APM: AIOps Ecosystems
The Future of APM
The future of Application Performance Monitoring (Application Performance Management or APM) will be closely connected to the growth of Artificial Intelligence in handling IT tasks (AIOps).  This means that APM tools will increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to monitor and improve the performance of software applications. AIOps is a revolutionary approach to managing and optimizing the performance of applications, networks, and IT infrastructures. APM is more than just monitoring; it’s about leveraging AI and automation to make proactive decisions and streamline operations.

Best CI/CD Practices for Better Code Quality
Best CI/CD Practices for Better Code Quality
Continuous integration and continuous delivery, also referred to as CI/CD, are a tradition, set of basic concepts, and set of practices that application development teams use to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably. Continuous integration is a coding philosophy and set of techniques that encourage development teams to commit tiny code changes to a version control repository regularly. Because most current applications include writing code on a range of platforms and tools, teams want a standardized method for integrating and validating changes. Continuous integration allows developers to build, package, and test their applications in an automated manner. Developers are more likely to commit code changes more frequently when they have a consistent integration procedure, which leads to improved cooperation and code quality. Continuous delivery is a software development approach that automates the infrastructure provisioning and application deployment process by combining it with continuous integration. After code has been tested and built as part of the continuous integration process, continuous delivery takes over in the last stages to ensure it can be deployed to any environment at any time. Everything from infrastructure provisioning to application deployment to the testing or production environment can be covered by continuous delivery. The program is constructed in such a way that it may be deployed to production at any moment with continuous delivery. Then you may either manually trigger the deployments or switch to continuous deployment, where the deployments are also automated.

Is competition your real threat? Think again!

With a little over 2 months into my new job, several customer briefings, here I am, enlightened already with the concepts and importance of “performance”. I am referring to the performance of enterprise systems and applications.

I am beginning to realize that the bigger threat comes from within –Under-performance! No matter how compelling your offering is, a small issue (could be anywhere) can lead your customer out of the door, without a sale. This is what under-performance can do to you; hit you hard, much worse than your competitors.

What Do World-class Applications Have In Common With Sports Superstars?

Pick any – football, basketball, tennis, cricket, ice hockey or any other sports. I am sure your mind has gathered a few associated names already. Roger Federer, LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Sachin Tendulkar… All world-class payers within their domains.

Allow me to share my observations and thoughts influenced by a book from the bestseller author Malcolm Gladwell.

Consistency and Performance!
