How APM fits into the modern observability stack

How APM fits into the modern observability stack

Jun 4, 2026 By Kirubanandan Rammohan In ManageEngine
Most engineering teams don't have a data problem. They have an interpretation problem. Prometheus is running, logs are shipping to the aggregator, dashboards are green-and then a latency spike hits and the root cause takes 45 minutes to isolate. The data was there but the answer wasn't. That gap is where application performance monitoring (APM) operates. This article explores what APM adds to a modern observability stack, why relying on standalone tools leaves critical blind spots, and how teams can unify infrastructure data with application context for a complete operational picture.

Increase customer retention & stop leaving money in the shopping cart

Jun 3, 2026 By Sumitra Manga In Raygun
We all know the pain and frustration associated with broken software. It's no secret that the internet is rife with broken links, slow pages, and broken shopping carts, often feeling like it's being held together with glue and duct tape. These issues aren't just causing frustration for customers; it costs businesses millions. According to the Consortium for Information and Software Quality, poor software quality cost US companies $2.08 trillion in 2020. Every interaction between a customer and your technology is an opportunity to build or destroy trust.

Your AI App Is Lying to You - Here's How to Fix That #devops #observability #programming

Jun 3, 2026 By SigNoz - Open Source Observability Platform In SigNoz
You shipped your AI app. But do you have all the answers? Do you actually know which model ran, how many tokens it consumed, or why it stopped? This is what LLM observability gives you, and most AI engineers are skipping it entirely. I built an SOS detection app and used OpenTelemetry to get full visibility into every single call. Token usage, model version, finish reason, and cost per call all in one place, standardised across any provider. Check out the OpenTelemetry GenAI docs in the link below; there is a lot more you can track than you think.

Best APM for Small Teams Without Dedicated DevOps in 2026

Jun 3, 2026 By Sarah Morgan In Scout
You don’t have an SRE. There’s no platform team. Your “monitoring strategy” is someone checking Slack for error alerts. When production breaks, the same two or three senior devs drop everything to debug. Sound familiar? Most APM tools are built for organizations with dedicated operations staff. They assume someone has time to configure dashboards, tune alert thresholds, and learn a complex query language. That person does not exist on your team.

Ameet Talwalkar on Building the AI Research Lab

May 26, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
"We're doing cutting-edge AI, focused on real translational impact: getting our research over the wall and into production." Ameet Talwalkar, Datadog's Chief Scientist, shares what it took to build the AI Research Lab from the ground up — and what makes DAIR different from traditional research teams. At Datadog, research ships. Recent work from the lab includes Toto 2.0, open-weights time series forecasting models ranked on leading benchmarks, and ARFBench, a new benchmark for evaluating AI on real incident data.

Anthropic Monitoring & Observability with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

May 22, 2026 By SigNoz - Open Source Observability Platform In SigNoz
Learn how to implement end-to-end monitoring and observability for Anthropic (Claude) API-based applications using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. In this video, we walk through instrumenting your Anthropic API calls, collecting traces, metrics, and logs, and visualizing everything in SigNoz to gain real-time visibility into performance, failures, and bottlenecks. You'll see how to move from basic logging to production-grade observability, so you can debug faster, optimize latency, and confidently run Claude-powered AI systems at scale.

The Importance of Time Synchronization in Windows Authentication

May 18, 2026 By Babu Sundaram In eG Innovations
Kerberos is a secure network authentication protocol that allows users and systems to prove their identity over a network without sending passwords in plain text. It is widely used in enterprise environments (for example, in Windows domains) to enable single sign-on (SSO). At its core, Kerberos uses a trusted authority called the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to issue encrypted “tickets” that verify identity.

Best APM for Small Development Teams in 2026

May 14, 2026 By Sarah Morgan In Scout
Last updated: May 2026 If your team is 2 to 20 developers and you do not have dedicated DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, most APM tools were not built for you. They were built for the team that has you: a team with specialists who can tune dashboards, configure alerting pipelines, manage data retention policies, and explain the monitoring system to everyone else. You do not have that team. You have developers who also handle deploys, on-call, and debugging production issues between writing features.

What Is APM? A Guide to Application Performance Monitoring

May 13, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
A well-instrumented service tells your on-call engineer which deploy broke checkout, which span ate the latency budget, and which line to revert before the support queue fills up. Getting there depends on how cleanly your application performance monitoring layer turns telemetry into answers. The sections ahead walk through how APM works, the metrics and components worth tracking, the cloud-native challenges at scale, and how to evaluate APM tooling against your real workload.
