Application Performance Monitoring

You cannot improve what you cannot measure. Application Performance Monitoring gives you a real-time picture of your application health — latency percentiles, error rates, and user experience metrics — before users start complaining.

// Key benefits

What makes this service valuable

Distributed tracing

OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing across your entire service architecture — understanding exactly where time is spent in multi-service request flows.

Real-user monitoring

RUM captures actual user performance data — page load times, Core Web Vitals, and geographic distribution — as opposed to synthetic lab measurements.

Custom metrics and dashboards

Business-level metrics (checkout completion rate, API error rate by endpoint) alongside infrastructure metrics in a unified monitoring dashboard.

// Details

Visibility into every layer of your stack

APM is the diagnostic tool that surfaces production issues before users notice them. We configure APM with appropriate instrumentation depth — not everything needs tracing, but business-critical paths should always be observable.

We set up APM alongside alert rules that notify on meaningful degradation — not every noisy metric, but the specific conditions that indicate a user-impacting problem.

// FAQ

Common questions about application performance monitoring

Which APM tool do you recommend?+

Datadog for large teams with complex multi-service architectures and budget for enterprise tooling. Sentry for cost-effective error tracking and basic performance monitoring for smaller teams. New Relic for teams that want deep application insights without Datadog pricing.
