Application performance monitoring (APM) is a process of monitoring and analyzing performance issues within an application. In monolithic architecture, monitoring the performance of an application using APM tools was straightforward. However, once the application adopts microservice architecture, the application becomes more complex, and the business functionalities flow into different microservices to complete the workflow.
