Network Monitoring Tools vs Application Performance Monitoring
Developers should learn and use network monitoring tools when building or maintaining applications that rely on network infrastructure, such as web services, cloud-based systems, or IoT devices, to ensure uptime and performance meets developers should learn and use apm to proactively detect and resolve performance issues before they impact users, especially in microservices or cloud-native architectures where complexity can obscure root causes. Here's our take.
Network Monitoring Tools
Developers should learn and use network monitoring tools when building or maintaining applications that rely on network infrastructure, such as web services, cloud-based systems, or IoT devices, to ensure uptime and performance
Network Monitoring Tools
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use network monitoring tools when building or maintaining applications that rely on network infrastructure, such as web services, cloud-based systems, or IoT devices, to ensure uptime and performance
Pros
- +They are essential for troubleshooting connectivity problems, identifying bottlenecks, and securing networks against attacks like DDoS or unauthorized access
- +Related to: network-security, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Application Performance Monitoring
Developers should learn and use APM to proactively detect and resolve performance issues before they impact users, especially in microservices or cloud-native architectures where complexity can obscure root causes
Pros
- +It is critical for maintaining service-level agreements (SLAs), optimizing resource usage, and improving user satisfaction in production environments
- +Related to: observability, distributed-tracing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Network Monitoring Tools if: You want they are essential for troubleshooting connectivity problems, identifying bottlenecks, and securing networks against attacks like ddos or unauthorized access and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Application Performance Monitoring if: You prioritize it is critical for maintaining service-level agreements (slas), optimizing resource usage, and improving user satisfaction in production environments over what Network Monitoring Tools offers.
