It’s no use computerize your entire company and introducing a poor, slow, or difficult usability system. To effectively anticipate this type of scenario and avoid jobs and headaches for your team, APM – Application Performance Monitoring – comes as a good alternative. Through it, you can analyze how your team is using enterprise applications. With this, you can better understand whether these applications are offering problems or solutions. But the advantages do not stop there.

As an IT pro, making sure that the end users have a good experience is one of the most important parts of the job. It’s so important in fact, that there are numerous tools available for monitoring the performance of end user sessions. In most cases, such monitoring tools work by examining a series of performance counters in an effort to quantify the end user experience. In reality, however, performance data and what the end users actually experience can be two very different things.

One of the features we love about RapidSpike is the sheer amount of data we collect about the performance of our customers’ websites. We are able to use this data to provide great insight into real user experiences and, crucially, how to improve those experiences. However not everyone has time to analyse that data, or knows exactly what to look for.

I would like to start by a big THANK YOU, to all PM2 users, contributors, customers, to my team and to the whole Node.js family. Without you, we wouldn't have built such a tool that helps thousands of businesses run their Node.js apps confidently. I deeply love Node.js and I'm still strong on my belief that Node.js is the de facto modern back-end language which increases the productivity of so many businesses, startups, innovators and hackers.

At Monitorama 2018, I shared some of the cool process and knowledge I’ve learned from developing a product for people other than myself to consume. After spending six years on call, I now build software that wakes people up in the night — AKA, infrastructure and tooling for systems monitoring and performance analysis. As someone who’s been there, I’m conscientious about building quality software that people delight in using.

We live a busy life and as a result, we all forget to get some tasks done on time. The fact is that some things should not be delayed and a good example of this renewing your SSL / TLS certificates. What an SSL certificate does is to allow a person, a computer or an organization to exchange information in a secure way.

I am very excited to announce that we closed our $68.5M Series D financing round last month, bringing our total funding to $121.5M. We look forward to partnering with our new investors, Insight Venture Partners, who led this round alongside existing investors, Bain Capital Ventures, and Accel. Our mission is to enable enterprises to run reliable and secure containers and microservices.

At Google, we believe strongly in an open cloud. We’re continually working to bring you tools for understanding how your applications are performing, whether they run in different projects, organizations, clouds, or even on prem. Monitoring tools like Stackdriver Kubernetes Monitoring, OpenCensus, and Stackdriver APM are designed to help you get visibility into your workloads wherever they run—on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), on-premises or on another cloud platform.
