Between your app server and your customer's fingertips, your mobile application or website's performance depends on many factors. Often, what you give may not be what the customer gets, as several things can get in the way, such as bottlenecks, server performance issues, network woes, and un-optimized code. All these factors prevent your customers from experiencing fluid, fast, and functional apps and websites as intended.

In this blog series we’ll be examining the Five Myths of Apache Spark Optimization. (Stay tuned for the entire series!) If you’ve missed Myth #1, check it out here.

Having an observability tool like New Relic or New Relic alternatives can be the key to protecting your margins. A few hours of service disruption, a software bug, or unoptimized code deployment can significantly impact customer experience.
