The Ultimate Ops Checklist for APM
25 critical points to consider for your APM implementation
Today, there’s no shortage of tools offering some sort of APM functionality, but they’re not all created equal. What works for a DevOps team dealing strictly with distributed cloud-based apps may not be the right solution for a traditional data center. Similarly, the requirements of a startup will be significantly different compared with those of a large enterprise.
In this checklist, we’ll cover 25 points to consider when evaluating which APM is right for you. We’ll cover everything from end-user benefits to configuration and deployment. For each item, we’ll summarize why the item is included, and then include a Key Question to Ask - a shortcut for the item to be sure you’re considering it in your APM decision.
Whether you’re a DevOps engineer, a developer, or an IT leader, by the end of this list, you should have the information you need to confidently make your APM decision.
