Building successful apps is hard!
• Need for Speed - User retention requires constant improvement in
performance & reliability
• Constant Evolution - Services & mobile apps need to evolve rapidly to survive
& grow
• Continuous Delivery - Most major services push update as often as every day
Success requires data-driven decision making
• Making the right investments requires deep understanding of user behavior
and habits

Challenges and blockers

information to resolve incidents
• Inability to quickly detect, diagnose
and triage application issues
• Lack of collaboration between

Am I meeting my service
KPIs?
What is the root
cause?
Is my application loading fast enough?
Is my application UP or
DOWN?
How many people are
impacted?
Is my application crashing?
What features are my customers
using?
How responsive are my dependency
calls?
How good is the end user experience?
Faced these questions?
