AppSphere 15 - What's New in Java: Leveraging Java in Hybrid CloudAppDynamics
As a language, Java remains a major player in enterprise applications, but new emerging trends around Java in recent years have been rather interesting because these trends no longer surround Java's core features. In addition, there have been interesting developments and overall movement towards cloud hybridization. In this session, we will review the new features in Java 8 in respect to performance monitoring. Then, we will deep-dive into new emerging trends surrounding Java enterprise applications, such as micro-service refactoring, cloud hybridization, and emerging frameworks/JVM-based languages and how you can leverage AppDynamics in order to gain further visibility into your application stack.
Key Takeaways:
-New Java 8 Developments
-AppDynamics on Hybrid Cloud
-Java 8 Memory Management
-JVM-based languages and AppDynamics
-Microservices Architecture and AppDynamics

AppSphere 15 - Driving APM Adoption in Complex, Global EnvironmentsAppDynamics
DigitasLBi, a global marketing and technology agency, are responsible for delivering an incredibly ambitious B2C web platform serving the combined global audiences of the Renault and Nissan automotive companies. The platform will encompass 360 websites spread across more than 150 markets with an anticipated 4.5 billion views per year. Delivering a project of such scale involves large teams of developers in multiple continents, many DevOps engineers and an incredibly close and transparent relationship with our clients.
It was essential that we had an integrated view of real-time application performance, user experience, and infrastructure capacity in real-time, across our global alliance. This was needed to help us make fast, data-driven decisions and so, in 2014, we chose AppDynamics because it’s a proven real-user monitoring and APM platform.
In this session attendees will learn about our APM deployment experience as we will cover:
- An overview of this complex, global software project for Renault and Nissan
- Our APM deployment to date
- The challenges we faced with APM adoption and how we overcame them
- How we encouraged our client partners to utilize APM in the right way

AppSphere 15 - Is Your Infrastructure Affecting Critical Business TransactionsAppDynamics
Within IT Operations teams, one of the biggest pain points is problem isolation. Identifying which infrastructure component is responsible for a slowdown or outage is still extremely challenging due to fragmented tools without context. Visibility into servers and networks requires subject matter expert who come equipped with their own tools and preferences. AppDynamics' approach of unified monitoring helps tear down these silos with application context visibility into both the server and network. We will discuss and, of course, demonstrate how using AppDynamics Unified Monitoring helps narrow down application-impacting problems, which are a result of infrastructure, leading to dramatic reduction in MTTR.
Key Learning:
- What are the challenges facing today's infrastructure and operations teams?
- Why it makes sense to correlate application performance (APM) with infrastructure
- What are real world infrastructure problems affecting business transaction performance?
- How to get, share, and socialize Infrastructure visibility provided by Unified Monitoring

Building & sustaining a monitoring team in a multi-application landscapeMeryemElMorabit
In a multi-application environment, it can become complex and time-consuming to keep track of those different interfaces, all with their own toolset and issue resolution. A monitoring team might provide the perfect solution to this “problem”. Such a team is solely focused on monitoring the different interfaces and assessing/resolving the risks and priorities that might arise. The consequence is that you get a good overview of your IT system and how healthy it is.

Delivering New Digital Experiences Fast - Introducing ChoreoWSO2
Watch webinar recording: https://wso2.com/library/webinars/deliver-new-digital-experiences-fast-with-choreo/
To differentiate yourself, you need to create unique and compelling digital experiences for both internal and external customers. However, this can be difficult and slow due to the complexity that comes from integrating existing systems, building new services, and managing APIs. Piecing together the development and operation technologies you need - including Kubernetes, Docker, and service meshes - takes time and requires dedicated expertise to manage, which can be hard to come by.
Choreo is a Digital Platform, as a service, for delivering new digital experiences. Choreo abstracts away the complexity of cloud-native infrastructure for your dev and ops teams so you can create new services, integrations, and APIs in hours or days instead of weeks or months.
This slide deck explores how you can use Choreo to
- Innovate in hours, not months by creating, composing, collaborating on, and reusing API-driven business logic
- Replace your complex infrastructure and coding with tools that make dev and ops simple and fast
- Make security and governance part of your DevOps automation with a platform where everything is secured and governed by default
This presentation provides a brief overview of APM solutions for the Azure cloud computing platform. We identify three challenges unique to cloud computing which APM can address, and we summarize which APM techniques can be applied in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS application architectures. To illustrate APM techniques for IaaS and PaaS we look at a variety APM offers in the Azure marketplace, including Riverbed AppInternals, Microsoft Application Insights, and NewRelic. To illustrate APM techniques for SaaS, we look at how SharePoint Online can be instrumented using JavaScript injection. This presentation was prepared and delivered by Ian Downard to the Portland Azure User Group on March 28th, 2016.

Enterprises are investing in cloud computing to manage their IT budgets more efficiently. Gartner predicts that the public cloud revenue for SaaS application service will be $73.6 billion in 2018, a 22% increase as compared to the previous years. This has led organizations to look for offerings that are specifically engineered to deliver their expected business outcomes.
The ease of adoption of cloud SaaS applications is promising greater flexibility and reduced cost to the business. At the same time due to the increase in adoption of SaaS applications, the information silos have increased which has created the need for integration across the cloud and enterprise.
Join us for the webinar to learn how you can resolve your integration challenges. We will also help you with how to:
Accelerate time to market and connect to SaaS applications in just minutes
Free up IT resources to do more innovative, customer-focused work
Improve and automate business processes via the sharing of data across applications
Extend investments in legacy systems and applications

Automation: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with DevOpsGuys - AppD Summit EuropeAppDynamics
A cornerstone of the DevOps philosophy, investment in automation at all stages across the SDLC has increased over recent years. Automation promises velocity and reduced errors, helps foster repeatable processes, and removes the need for long hours on dull, repetitive tasks. So what’s not to like? The downside of automation is that unless applied at the right place in your SDLC it can make a bad process worse. Automation also raises questions around job security, the need for re-skilling in other areas, and tool sprawl if different teams each choose their preferred technology. This session will outline:
-A short chronology of where automation has impacted the modern software stack
-Where it makes the most sense to automate (by identifying your key constraints)
-Best practices for adopting automation and how to identify where it’s working — and where it isn’t
