Iin the world of Kubernetes and increasingly ephemeral environments. APMs, despite their benefits, simply were not designed with today’s microservices and complex cloud architectures in mind. This is why so many APM users are looking for a new observability-driven approach.

App 360 is also different from traditional APMs in that it eliminates the common challenge of operating your monitoring data in silos. The whole idea here is centralized visibility into your complex microservices architectures in a manner that enables consolidated insights and targeted investigation. In addition, App 360 is uniquely designed to cost less to own and operate based on AI-driven observability data pipeline analytics. The move away from heavy, coding-level APM instrumentation to use an approach based on OpenTelemetry, one designed to democratize the involved data, also doesn’t force you into the same level of vendor lock-in as legacy APM providers.
