APM tools

Java developers spend more time maintaining their systems than they do developing them. This is because our systems are in production longer than it takes to write and test our code. It stands to reason that we should approach Application Performance Management (APM) seriously and appreciate the crucial role it has in our ability to ensure our systems continue to perform optimally and maximize the user experience.

APM tool overview

APM tools are designed to help us monitor our systems to manage their performance. These tools provide real-time insights into how our applications are performing. They can help us identify potential bottlenecks and possible optimization opportunities such as with resource use. The metrics generated by APM tools can be measured against baselines and give us a true picture of our system’s overall health.

The primary objectives of APM tools include the following:
