How to make APIM log data easily accessible for non-technical users?

This video explains the use case for API Management and Integration using the Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) feature of Turbo360. The scenario involves tracking help desk ticket submissions via an API, ensuring that support teams and business users can easily check the status of tickets. The challenge is that log data is complex and not easily accessible to non-technical users. Turbo360 simplifies this by providing a user-friendly interface where support teams can search, filter, and analyze logs without deep technical expertise.

How APM and synthetic monitoring work together for better performance

Imagine this: A customer tries to log in to your app, but the page takes too long to load. Frustrated, they leave. Meanwhile, your IT team has no clue there was an issue—until complaints start pouring in. Sound familiar? Performance lags are the new downtime. Lags are not just an inconvenience—they lead to lost revenue and frustrated users. To prevent this, organizations turn to application performance monitoring (APM) and synthetic monitoring to maintain peak application performance.

DORA Compliance - An Opportunity for MSPs

Native AWS Integrations with AutoDiscovery

For developers, the main quest is building and scaling their applications—not struggling with complex monitoring setups. Yet, observability in cloud-native environments is essential, and configuring monitoring for AWS services has traditionally been a complex and manual process. Developers had to set up Firehose streams, CloudWatch metric streams, and log subscriptions, all while ensuring continuous maintenance for new instances, turning observability into an unwelcome side quest.

How to use APM data to improve your CI/CD pipeline performance

Agile production has become the norm for software development cycles. The backbone for such a fast-paced landscape is the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. But merely depending on the CI/CD pipeline isn’t enough, even though the automated workflows give you a competitive edge. The pipeline needs to be optimized to function at its best. This is where monitoring your applications within the pipeline can be a game-changer.
