APM - Diving in to the async profiler feature of the java APM agent
Distributed tracing is great — it helps you identify (micro)services within complex architectures having issues interfering with user experience, such as high latency or errors. But once a problematic service is identified, it can be difficult to find out which methods are to blame for the slowdown. In this presentation, Felix Barnsteiner (one of the core developers of the APM Java Agent) will show you the different ways to get method-level insight into your application. Specifically, we’ll have a look at the newly added support for profiler-inferred spans that is based on a sampling profiler.

An Exploration of Runtime Metrics: Node's Event Loop
What Are Runtime Metrics? Runtime metrics can help us understand how an application is performing. SolarWinds® AppOptics™, a SaaS-based, full-stack infrastructure and application monitoring tool, now reports four categories of runtime metrics: CPU, memory, garbage collection times, and event loop times. Each metric category provides a view into how resources are used by an application.
Datadog vs. InfluxDB
If you’re responsible for monitoring, chances are you’ve heard of Datadog. Like InfluxDB, Datadog is a monitoring platform for cloud applications, bringing together data from containers, servers, databases, and third-party services. InfluxData and Datadog approach monitoring from different starting points. InfluxDB is an open-source time-series data platform that can be used for a range of use cases, one of which is monitoring.
Identifying EC2 Right Sizing Opportunities for Cost Optimization | Datadog Tips & Tricks
In this video, you’ll learn how to identify right sizing opportunities for your EC2 instances utilizing Datadog metric dashboards. Optimizing your cloud footprint for cost efficiency can be a huge task, especially for large and scaling environments. Utilizing time series data and toplists, Datadog dashboards allow you to see chronically underutilized EC2s in your AWS environment. Template variables allow you to sort EC2s by teams and instance types, so you quickly identify the scope of cost saving opportunities across your organization.
The Expensive History of APM
When done well, application performance monitoring (APM) is a magical and irreplaceable tool. However, over the years, enterprises have sometimes paid dearly to implement it. APM’s task seems simple enough—replace emotional user anecdotes about application performance with quantifiable, actionable data. But the devil can certainly be in the details with APM.
