Five Reasons Synthetic Monitoring Is More Important than Ever
By Dennis Callaghan
This post originally appeared as a bylined article in Website Magazine.
Synthetic monitoring is hardly a new technology. It’s been around almost as
long as the commercial World Wide Web has. But the importance of monitoring
the performance and availability of a web application by simulating users’
interactions with that application, from around the globe, has never been
more important. We’ve seen prominent vendors in the broad APM space add
this technology with new development or partnerships just in the last 18
months.
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons this technology, more than 20
years old now, is not only more relevant than ever but vital to the success
of digital businesses:

The Lean Cloud: The Need for Multi-Cloud DevOps
All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations
should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public
clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the
concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need
to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and
operational efficiency in the cloud.

Application performance management (APM) for the cloud may turn out to be as much about those economics as it is about customer experience.
