SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LightStep, the leading provider of application performance management for organizations adopting microservices, today announced new product capabilities that transform how organizations visualize and manage application performance and dramatically reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) for production incidents. With these improvements, LightStep enables teams to recognize abnormal performance and immediately focus on what has changed.
Enterprise Strategy Group Sr. Analyst Edwin Yuen said: “The application landscape has changed dramatically in the past few years and traditional APM tools are no longer sufficient for new technologies like microservices, serverless and cloud native applications. LightStep has made a significant step forward not only by monitoring both modern and legacy workloads, but in leveraging capabilities such as advanced histograms to visualize performance issues. Companies leveraging modern application platforms should look at LightStep for their performance monitoring needs.”
Key new features include:
“Software has evolved tremendously over the past twenty years, but unfortunately the way that we both reason about and measure performance has barely changed, until now,” said Ben Sigelman, co-founder and CEO of LightStep. “It’s time for people to stop thinking about software performance as a single number and to see it as a shape. Our new product capabilities make even subtle performance regressions self-evident, and with LightStep’s distributed tracing capabilities, our customers can isolate the root cause without the guesswork intrinsic to previous approaches.”
