What is application performance monitoring (APM)?
The term APM refers to the management of software application performance to ensure an expected level of service, as measured by performance metrics and user experience monitoring. APM solutions aim to detect and pinpoint application performance issues before real users are impacted.
Automatic monitoring of cloud-native workloads and microservices
Dynatrace automatically discovers and monitors dynamic microservice workloads running inside containers on Kubernetes, using OneAgent technology and open-source solutions like OpenTelemetry. Understand modern cloud technologies, from serverless to message queues, and how they are performing, how they communicate with each other, and immediately detect poorly performing microservices.

The top five APM challenges
Charting an application performance monitoring roadmap
As digital transformation accelerates and IT environments become increasingly complex, organizations need reliable, real-time visibility across their technology stacks. That’s where application performance monitoring and end-to-end observability can help.
Application performance monitoring (APM) is the process of tracking and collecting key software metrics to pinpoint potential problems and identify opportunities for improvement. But it isn’t a cure-all for everything that ails enterprises. To deliver on its potential, organizations need to recognize key challenges, understand their impact, and implement strategies that help to unlock the power of APM.
