Performance engineers conduct stress tests before release, but issues may occur in production due to mismatched environments and lack of endurance testing. Monitoring Micro-Metrics alongside Macro-Metrics can reveal underlying problems, such as memory leaks and connection issues, ultimately preventing performance incidents and enhancing application stability.
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.
The Performance QA team conducts regular performance tests in enterprise applications, focusing on macro metrics like CPU and memory utilization. However, these metrics alone can miss acute performance issues and hinder troubleshooting. Complementing them with nine micro metrics, such as GC behavior and thread states, can enhance performance visibility and prevent production problems.
DevopsCon, a global conference in Munich, featured a talk on "PREDICTING PRODUCTION OUTAGES: UNLEASHING THE POWER OF MICRO-METRICS." The session highlighted the limitations of macro-metrics in performance monitoring and introduced micro-metrics as effective lead indicators for predicting application performance, enabling early detection of potential outages.
ADDO conference stands as one of the foremost online communities for DevOps professionals worldwide. This annual event offers a massive platform for learning and collaboration among experts in the field. In this ADDO conference 2023, our expert architect, Ram Lakshmanan, will bring to light a crucial issue—predicting production outages. He'll unveil the power of micro-metrics,... Continue Reading →
