Every job has its mundane administrative tasks, and we all hate them. In the world of wealth management, relationship managers are pressured to serve as many existing customers and prospects as they can with the ultimate goal of increasing the assets under management (AUM)—one of the key metrics used to measure their productivity. Similarly, in the insurance industry, financial advisors are driven to maximize their time with clients.

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) makes it easier to operate Kubernetes clusters, but performance monitoring remains a top challenge. AppDynamics seamlessly integrates into EKS environments, providing insights into the performance of every microservice deployed, all through a single pane of glass.

A new MIT Technology Review report reveals why—and how—application performance monitoring (APM) is the key to deriving maximum business value from the Internet of Things. Here’s what IT pros can learn from the findings.

The jobs of everyone involved in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) are made easier by having application and business performance information easily available.

Just recently we launched AppDynamics for Kubernetes, giving enterprises end-to-end, unified visibility into their entire Kubernetes stack and Kubernetes-orchestrated applications for both on-prem and public cloud environments. Our industry-leading APM provides visibility into Kubernetes by leveraging labels such as Namespace, Pod or ReplicaSet. And AppDynamics customers can organize, group, query or filter Kubernetes objects or performance metrics based on labels.

DevOps is changing the way companies develop and maintain software. By embedding operations engineers into software development teams, companies are reducing the average number of days from code completion to live production and eliminating wait time and rework, among other benefits. But as I pointed out in my previous post “Performance Testing in a DevOps World” performance testing remains the weakest link in the process.
