Software has performed a great vanishing act. It is no longer something we install and manage. It has become an invisible power we summon with a word or two—typed or increasingly spoken— and command. It is Aladdin’s genie, answering our questions, booking our flights home for the holidays, and arranging for a tasty meal to […]

I recently had the privilege of speaking at DevOpsDays London 2019, the long-running DevOps conference which last month drew some 400 enthusiastic attendees, each keenly interested in software development and IT infrastructure operations. As a Solutions Engineer at AppDynamics, my presentation focused on the importance of application performance monitoring (APM) in a DevOps environment, and […]

Digital services and applications have changed human behavior forever. People reach for their phone as soon as they wake up. They ask Alexa to turn on the lights. They tap Sonos to listen to their favorite music on Spotify. During nearly every waking moment of the day, people are interacting with a host of applications […]

Applications are central to the way companies do business today. The problem businesses face is two-fold: not only is the application essential to the way they compete, but the competitive bar has been raised by the tech giants of the world—Google, Facebook, Netflix, et al.—who’ve evolved as design-led, cloud-native organizations that know how to iterate […]

IT infrastructure management in financial services looks very different from other industries. In this highly regulated space, concerns about security and uptime abound. And with good reason: millions of sensitive monthly — if not daily — transactions means there’s pretty much zero margin for error. And it makes sense. After all, your applications don’t just […]

Common application outage sources have been addressed by implementing Agile, DevOps and CI/CD processes. The resulting increase in system uptime allows site reliability engineers (SREs) to move their focus onto tuning performance, and for good reason. While outage-driven news headlines can cause stock prices to plummet short term, the performance-driven reputation loss is a slow […]
