Businesses today are largely defined by the applications they run. And to stay competitive enterprises must continuously update their software and performance issues must be identified and solved swiftly.
This drive toward more rapid software iterations and enterprise development and IT management efficiency is one of the biggest reasons why more companies have embraced DevOps and continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
But how do enterprises make certain they can continuously deploy and delivery new software apps and features and not inadvertently impact user experience? Precisely how are mistakes and failures, or app performance issues quickly identified and remedied? How are application issues managed so that there aren’t costly outages or development teams aren’t getting texts in the middle of the night for emergency software change requests? This is where application performance management (APM) comes in.
According to the market research firm Markets and Markets, the APM Market is expected to reach nearly $5 billion by 2019, up from $2.72 billion in 2014.
There is a significant intersection between DevOps and application performance management. It’s also essential for application management teams, development teams and operations teams, and needs to be integrated in many DevOps processes. In this staging-devopsy.kinsta.cloud Survival Guide, we provide resources to help you to get the skinny on using application performance management to help more tightly integrate Dev and Ops, find the right APM tools and successfully manage today’s more complex environments with application performance management.
