See How Much Your APM is Costing You to Monitor Node.js Apps opsdemon Thu, 19/10/2023 - 09:00 We are excited to share the release of our new Cost Calculator to showcase just how much the wrong APM provider can add to your cloud hosting costs (try it now). Observability is vital, but it comes with computational overhead that shares the same infrastructure as your application. This is compounded in typical Node.js APM tooling due to the internal workings of Node.js itself. We are performance junkies at NodeSource, so observability without overhead was our first and foremost goal with the origi ..read more

Spark APM - What is Spark Application Performance Management opsdemon Thu, 17/12/2020 - 09:00 Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose engine for large-scale data processing. It’s most widely used to replace MapReduce for fast processing of data stored in Hadoop. Designed specifically for data science, Spark has evolved to support more use cases, including real-time stream event processing. Spark is also widely used in AI and machine learning applications. https://unraveldata.com/resources/what-is-spark-apm Unravel Blog Analytics APM BI Unravel Data Unravel Data hello@unraveldata ..read more

Splunk vs. Dynatrace vs. Scout opsdemon Thu, 02/12/2021 - 09:00 In today’s times, Application Performance Monitoring has grown to become a necessity for most software organizations. At the same time, the term has evolved from tracking only the performance of an application to monitoring the infrastructure, user experience, latency, and much more. These factors, when put together, contribute to the overall growth of a product. There are so many things that can go wrong at the same time. Therefore you need to choose the perfect monitoring solution that gives you complete visibility over your a ..read more
