We recently hosted a webinar on how micro-metrics can help detect performance issues before they cause outages. While traditional metrics often miss hidden problems, experts shared 7 key micro-metrics that can spot early signs of issues like memory leaks and CPU spikes. The session also covered real-world examples and practical tips for preventing performance failures.
Java is a popular programming language that powers several mission critical applications all over the world. In this post let's discuss some of the commonly confronted performance problems by Java applications and potential solutions to solve them. Video In this video, we explored the most common issues that impact Java applications in production environments. Our... Continue Reading →
The post offers assistance to improve application performance by addressing traffic volume, scaling, availability, response time, and security concerns. The author provides an in-depth analysis of architecture and system components, culminating in a report detailing issues and tailored solutions, including architectural and code-level modifications.
DevopsCon, held in Berlin, featured a talk by our architect on "MAJOR OUTAGES IN MAJOR ENTERPRISES". The session analyzed outage artifacts and equipped attendees to troubleshoot various issues. The event received an excellent rating of 5 for talk quality and speaker knowledge, compared to the overall average of 3.84 and 4.22.
