Application Observability | Resource Center

Application performance management (APM) and distributed tracing are practices that many teams have been using for years to help detect and mitigate performance issues within applications—while the first one was born in the era of big single-host monoliths, the latter is especially useful for distributed applications that use a microservices architecture, in which tracing is critical for pinpointing the source of performance issues.

Software testing is evolving, with quality engineering processes moving from test automation to autonomous testing. See why test observability is the next frontier you must know about.

As usual the Monitorama talk selection team did a bang-up job. Every talk was interesting, but a few jumped out at me for some very specific reasons. I’ll broadly categorize these as the best talks (talks that gave me hope and inspiration), the worst talks (talks that terrified or depressed me), and the beautiful talks (talks that captured something beautiful).

While the world is largely returning to a semblance of comfort with larger public events, COVID is still a real and present threat, something we keep in the backs of our minds all the time. But having a sense of community is also important and so, we weigh the risks — go another year without collaboration and connection — or take sensible precautions, cross our fingers, and accept the risks of a large indoor gathering?

Sumo Logic is making its first entry into the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for APM and Observability. Learn more about our journey to get here today.
