Today, we're proud to announce the next chapter for Raygun APM - support for .NET Core. Raygun is a breath of fresh air for modern development teams needing an APM solution, and our latest language support is no different. In this release, we're harnessing the power of .NET Core for Windows to bring exciting new features like multithreading and source code integration, so you can offer flawless digital experiences for your customers.

APM is something that some organizations either don't fully understand or don't put much thought into until it's too late. When there's a problem with an application, the organization scrambles to find a tool that can help solve the problem at hand. They contact the sales teams of various APM vendors to see which ones can help them.

Applications have, traditionally, been developed as "monoliths." This term describes how application code is compiled and delivered. Monoliths are compiled and/or packaged into a single binary, or a bundle of code, and deployed as a single unit. That single unit contains hundreds, sometimes thousands of lines of code. The functionality packed into that deployable artefact is most, if not all, of the functions of the application.

DevOps communication is continuing to evolve-and these tools are leading the charge.

If your monitoring systems are becoming chaotic, there could be a better way to simplify.

If you're thinking of running a serverless setup, congratulations! But...that means you're running a distributed system. With all the benefits and simplicities that come with going serverless comes this tradeoff: You potentially also have some increases in complexity. Distributed systems are, by their nature, complex. With partitions, you're communicating over a network that's potentially unreliable and can't be trusted. Which means that monitoring your application errors is going to be especially important.

Recently, OpsMatters marketing consultant & copywriter Lauren Detweiler sat down (virtually, of course!) with Lucian Daniliuc, founder & CEO of uptime monitoring service Monitive, to chat about the monitoring industry, the process of rewriting an application from scratch, and why customers matter to the process so much.
