Introduction
In today’s digital age, where user experience and application performance are key factors for the success of websites and apps, having real-time insights into your apps behavior is crucial.
For this reason, DeltaBlue has teamed up with New Relic to give our customers access to the full APM suite of New Relic, integrated in the DeltaBlue Cloud Platform, at a fraction of the price.
New Relic empowers developers, IT operations teams, and business users to gain visibility into the performance and behavior of their applications, infrastructure, and customer experiences.
Benefits of real-Time Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
APM gives you a clear view of how your applications are performing, including their response times, latency, throughput, and error rates. These insights help you identify where improvements are needed and where potential bottlenecks might be lurking.
When issues arise, APM lets you quickly zero in on the root cause, decreasing the time it takes to resolve problems. That means less downtime and more reliable applications overall.
Keeping an eye on your application’s performance in real-time ensures that your users have a smooth experience every time they interact with your software. By proactively addressing performance hiccups, you can keep frustration levels low and prevent users from jumping ship.
APM isn’t just for ops teams—it’s a valuable tool for developers too. By integrating APM into your development process, you can catch performance issues early in the development lifecycle and ensure that performance considerations are baked into your code from the start.
Use Case: Optimizing E-Commerce Performance with New Relic
Problem statement
Imagine you run an e-commerce platform that experiences occasional slowdowns during peak shopping seasons. These slowdowns not only frustrate customers but also lead to lost sales opportunities. You need a solution that helps you identify and resolve performance issues quickly to ensure a qualitative shopping experience for your users.
Solution
You activate New Relic for the required stack items to gain real-time insights into your application’s performance. This only requires one click of a button. Within the DeltaBlue Cloud Platform you will see the most relevant data directly on the dashboard, in realtime.
For deeper dives, you can navigate seamlessly to the New Relic UI where you can trace transactions through your application and pinpoint exactly where the slowdown is occurring, whether it’s in your code, a third-party service, or your database.
Armed with insights from New Relic, you can take proactive steps to optimize your application’s performance. For example, you might identify a database query that’s taking too long to execute and optimize it for better performance. Or you might discover that a third-party service is slowing down your application and decide to switch to a faster alternative.
Results
Not only will the user experience be improved. You will also reduce the likelihood of users abandoning their shopping carts due to frustration. This leads to higher conversion rates and increased revenue for your e-commerce business. In the long term it will lead to an enhanced reputation for reliability and trustworthiness, leading to increased customer loyalty and positive word-of-mouth referrals.
