RIP Xamarin: Adding .NET MAUI to Real User Monitoring

We’re constantly seeing frameworks evolving and churning, and in May 2024 we’ll see the end of Xamarin after 12 years. The deprecation of Xamarin means we need to ensure that MAUI is equipped with the tools and functionalities that developers have come to rely on Xamarin for. At Raygun, that’s Real User Monitoring (RUM).

APM Metrics: The Ultimate Guide

How your software applications perform is an extremely important factor in determining end-user satisfaction. APM metrics are the key indicators that help business-critical applications achieve peak performance. This article explains APM metrics, their importance, and the core APM metrics used by modern software systems to measure and optimize the performance of their applications.

Datadog on Data Science

In this episode we'll visit the world of predictive analytics and machine learning and uncover how these cutting-edge technologies are transforming the way Datadog monitors and improves its services. We’ll focus our conversation on two key aspects: using advanced statistical methods for proactive monitoring and the strategic implementation of machine learning for algorithm enhancement.

Apache Spark at Scale #datadog #shorts #security #observability

Datadog is an observability and security platform that ingests and processes tens of trillions of data points per day, coming from more than 22,000 customers. Processing that amount of data in a reasonable time stretches the limits of well known data engines like Apache Spark. In addition to scale, Datadog infrastructure is multi-cloud on Kubernetes and the data engineering platform is used by different engineering teams, so having a good set of abstractions to make running Spark jobs easier is critical.

Beyond APM: What Datadog Won't Tell You with Leon Adato of Kentik

APM tools promise a unified observability platform, yet they inherently focus on internal metrics, traces, and logs. This internal focus, while valuable, misses critical dimensions of the user experience and network performance that are essential for a complete understanding of application behavior in real-world scenarios. With Kentik you can dive deep into your network performance and find problems before they affect your users.

How to improve INP (the newest Core Web Vital)

From the first introduction of Core Web Vitals, Google has maintained that these user experience metrics will keep evolving. Since 2022, the Google team has been testing Interaction to Next Paint (INP), a new interactivity metric, and asking for feedback from the development community. Late in 2023, they announced that INP would replace FID as a Core Web Vital. The transition to INP is effective from March 2024.

Grafana vs Splunk - Key Features and Differences

Grafana and Splunk are both used as monitoring tools. But while Grafana is majorly used as a data visualization tool, Splunk is an enterprise security and observability platform. Monitoring tools are essential for any business that wants to have visibility into its IT infrastructure. They provide real-time data that can be used to identify and troubleshoot problems. Grafana and Splunk are two of the most popular monitoring tools on the market. So, which one is better for your business?

8 Kubernetes application performance monitoring challenges and how to solve them

Kubernetes is a widely-adopted platform that manages the containers that host an application. Instead of handling nodes and containers individually, it groups all workloads as orchestrated layers. This abstraction simplifies the overall complexities involved, making the application easier to manage.
