Key Application Performance Metrics From the Viewpoint of a Statistician-Turned-Developer


You’ve just released your new app into the wild, live in production. Success! Now what? Your job is done, right? Wrong. 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? Is the app performant? Do the pages load quickly? Are your users experiencing any errors? If so, where? How often?

The first step to gather this type of data is application monitoring. Once you have data though, it’s important to analyze it correctly. Numbers can lie, and it’s essential to ensure that you are drawing accurate conclusions.
