What's Slowing Down Your App? Common Performance Issues APM Can Solve

Application performance is critical to user experience and business success. When an application starts slowing down, identifying the root cause isn’t always straightforward. For developers, DevOps engineers, and SREs, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools provide real-time visibility into how applications behave under load.

Fabric Interconnect: Connecting Servers with UCS Hardware

Every IT decision-maker faces a common challenge: balancing operational efficiency with cost control. While software solutions help streamline operations and drive efficiency, they can introduce redundancies into your system. These redundancies strengthen availability through backup systems but often complicate data management, leading to inconsistencies and potential outages. This is where hardware solutions like fabric interconnects prove invaluable.

Understanding APM and Distributed Tracing in the Observability Stack

To keep modern applications running smoothly, you need more than just basic monitoring. APM (Application Performance Monitoring) gives you a broad overview, tracking metrics like latency, errors, and system health. Distributed Tracing, on the other hand, shows the full journey of each request across services, helping you pinpoint the root cause of slowdowns or failures.

Stay Compliant: Meet Your Audit Needs with Datadog!

Datadog's internal compliance team has built audit workflows and control monitoring capabilities using the Datadog platform. We actively use these capabilities to scale our audit programs and comply with multiple compliance frameworks.

Structured Logging in NextJS with OpenTelemetry

Traces tell you what happened and when. Logs tell you why. When something breaks, logs are often your first clue—and if they’re correlated with traces, they can cut debugging time down from hours to minutes. In this section, we’ll wire up end-to-end structured logging across both server and browser environments in your Next.js app, complete with trace correlation and SigNoz integration.

LLM Observability for Reliability and Stability: A Monitoring Strategy for Phone Communication

LLM APIs offer groundbreaking potential, but also present challenges such as response latency, hallucinations, and service instability. In Japan, where telephone communication remains crucial for business, these issues present significant barriers to the introduction of LLM-based applications. Despite being a relatively young startup, we have developed and deployed an LLM-based telephone service with over 40 million calls.
