Digital Experience Monitoring Benefits for IT Featuring Forrester

End-User Experience Management (EUEM) is evolving post-Covid-19. Businesses are now moving towards phase 4 of the Covid-19 timeline. This includes understanding remote worker behavior and preparing for the new normal. Technology and IT leaders are increasingly using data to measure the employee experience. According to Forrester, 64% of technology leaders will invest in data and analytics technology to improve remote worker experience. Employees will adopt a hybrid work approach and businesses will want to employ broader employee engagement analysis and understand why a problem is happening at remote locations. Engagement and productivity insights will be delivered via synthetic and real user monitoring for Microsoft 365, Office 365, Teams, and SaaS applications.

Combine Synthetics and Real User Monitoring for a Complete End-User Digital Experience

Real User Monitoring (RUM) is becoming increasingly popular during the pandemic as most employees start to work remotely from home. This type of passive monitoring approach captures the real end-user experience of accessing web applications. IT gathers SaaS application performance metric data and leverages those insights to quickly troubleshoot issues for remote workers. On the other hand, Synthetic monitoring emulates real users accessing cloud and infrastructure services like Microsoft 365. Businesses would benefit from a holistic monitoring strategy that includes both RUM and Synthetic tests to cater to the needs of a hybrid remote workforce.

Accelerating Code Quality with DORA Metrics

What do Google’s DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) and Rollbar have to do with each other? DORA identified four key metrics to measure DevOps performance and identified four levels of DevOps performance from Low to Elite. One way for a team to become an Elite DevOps performer is by focusing on Continuous Code Improvement.

Stream Your AWS Services Metrics to Splunk

Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced the launch of CloudWatch Metric Streams. Cloudwatch Streams can stream metrics from a number of different AWS resources using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to target destinations. The new service is different from the current architecture. Instead of polling, metrics are delivered via an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose stream. This is a highly scalable and far more efficient way to retrieve AWS service metrics.

What is Java Memory Analysis

Java memory analysis is an important process in checking the performance of a Java application. It helps Java developers ensure the stability of the application by checking the memory consumption. There are several factors to look into when doing memory analysis. But to get to the bottom of this process, it is vital to learn first how memory works.
