Performance is a Shape – Not a Number

Report Describes How to Confidently Measure and Explain Performance

The old elements of logging, metrics, and tracing are insufficient for today’s complex software systems.

If you’re considering or in the midst of adopting microservices, you know that faster root cause analysis and the ability to confidently measure and explain performance is key to improve efficiency and save developer time. Read this report to understand why:

Countless disconnected time-series statistics aren’t enough to explain the behavior of modern applications.
Tools must identify, triage, and explain latency issues, as organizations adopt microservices.
It’s critical to evolve our thinking about latency measurements and how they play a part in diagnostic workflows.

Recommended New Approach to Improve Digital Application Performance

Online applications and services, from ecommerce to government services, increasingly address a global audience. These services require a globally-distributed architecture that is optimized to deliver a high-quality user experience. Traffic optimization solutions based on managed DNS services are a critical component of such distributed architecture. They offer an efficient method for optimizing globally-distributed architectures for both end-user performance and cost.

When these optimization services are able to make traffic management decisions based on real-time performance analytics, they become immensely more valuable and effective. They allow application owners to build traffic optimization policies that are based on real-time network conditions, rather than purely static conditions like geography. Combining real-time performance data with cost metrics enables application services to be optimized for performance and cost.

This white paper examines why operators of online services should leverage managed traffic optimization services that use a combination of real-time data feeds, including real user measurements (RUM), active and passive monitoring, and location-based information. It briefly reviews NS1’s Pulsar RUM analytics and Managed DNS traffic management platform.
