Modern Application Performance Management Approaches
by Ken Ahrens, Enterprise Engineer, New Relic
Now that Software has all but eaten the entire world, everyone has a customer-facing website. It's no longer enough to just do some basic memory/cpu monitoring on the server and hope that all is well. And just monitoring the server-side code might give you a false sense of security. A modern Application Performance Management (APM) approach is to measure the end-user experience, application code and infrastructure. The purpose of this talk is to discuss Modern APM, especially for Rich Internet Apps.
