It’s been clear for a while that software designed explicitly for the data center environment will increasingly want/need to make different design trade-offs to e.g. general-purpose systems software that you might install on your own machines. But wow, I didn’t think we’d be at the point yet where we’d be abandoning TCP/IP!

You’ve just released your new app into the wild, live in production. Your job is done, right? Now that you’ve deployed your code, it’s time to monitor it, collect data, and analyze your metrics. Without application performance monitoring in place, you can’t accurately determine how well things are going. Are people using your app?
