APM

We heard “our monitoring doesn't work” a lot of times.

Did you buy the best tool on the market and feel frustrated because it doesn't show you a problem before your user complains? We know that this often happens, and that's why we've revamped your monitoring to allow you to precisely see what needs fixing.

There is a significant wear and tear in re-implementing that workaround until the definitive solution is ready. That's why we've automated these activities to focus on what really matters. With a focus on security, we've partnered with the best APM (Application Performance Management) tool companies.

When it comes to monitoring systems, we could take the traditional route, looking at CPU, memory, and disk, but we believe we can do better. With APM tools, it's possible to gain much deeper insights by examining the functioning of the applications themselves, enabling corrective and evolutionary actions based on concrete information.

And with our partnership with Dynatrace, we can deliver this and much more, always prioritizing solving customer problems in the most efficient way possible.

Monitoring

One of the pillars of APM is effective monitoring. Collecting metrics, understanding behaviors, displaying these metrics on customizable dashboards, and alerting in case of deviations are all included. However, it is important to gather metrics beyond the basics. Metrics such as execution time per method, page loading time in user experience, and many others that are relevant to the system's operation should be considered.

Distributed Applications

Now, to monitor complex and distributed applications, such as a microservices system, the challenge is significant. There are numerous transactions, many services, and it becomes easy to get lost in a sea of information. That's why it's important to find the right tool and structure and organize the project in a systematic manner.

Cost Management

One of the challenges we've observed in the adoption of cloud services is that cost management can be complicated. The ease of creating resources often leads to a loss of control over expenditures. That's why our team is always vigilant about the cost impacts of each action. Even with careful monitoring, periodic reviews are essential. We conduct a thorough analysis of expenses, identifying activities for cost reduction. This includes technical aspects such as resource removal, migration to new instance families, and tuning configurations. On the commercial side, we explore options like instance reservations, Savings Plans, and more.

Optimization

In addition to monitoring for issue detection, it's crucial to manage system performance actively. This enables the identification of behavioral patterns in applications that could potentially become problems in the future, allowing for timely resolution. Beyond issue prevention, a performant application often leads to more positive user experiences, potentially increasing the company's revenue.
