There’s been a generational shift in how Java enterprise applications are
created: they have been broken down from a monolithic architecture into
multiple services, and they’re highly interconnected and distributed. How
can Java developers and Operations teams adapt to these changes?
This keynote will discuss the 4 Big Things that Java professionals need to
design for now:
Cloud: Most applications built will have some part of its service in the
cloud Big Data: With the advent of NoSQL, Hadoop, and distributed caches, how
should we now approach the data layer? Agile Development & Operations:
Developers won’t just be responsible for the code, but how it’s deployed.
How does that affect the DevOps relationships? Failure is an option:
Distributed systems won’t just invite but demand failure, so how can
failure become part of the initial design?

A new year, a new iPhone and a new quarter. What else is new? How about a new
company?
Last month I was fortunate enough to join a stellar marketing team at one of
the fastest growing enterprise software startups in the bay area. The company
you ask? AppDynamics, and did I mention we’re also the leading next
generation Application Performance Management (APM) provider for modern
architectures in distributed, cloud, virtualized and on-premise environments?
We exceeded our targets for 2011 achieving an astonishing 400% growth in
bookings. Not too shabby for being the new kid on the ... (more)
I have yet to meet anyone in Dev or Ops who likes alerts. I’ve also yet to
meet anyone who was fast enough to acknowledge an alert, so they could
prevent an application from slowing down or crashing. In the real world
alerts just don’t work, nobody has the time or patience anymore, alerts are
truly evil and no-one trusts them. The most efficient alert today is an angry
end user phone call, because Dev and Ops physically hear and feel the pain of
someone suffering
Why? There is little or no intelligence in how a monitoring solution
determines what is normal or abnormal for applic... (more)
Last week a performance engineer called Ben Bramley published a blog entitled
“APM Market Disruptors – AppDynamics and New Relic“. The purpose of his
article was to provide an overview of AppDynamics and New Relic, whilst also
summarizing the key approaches each vendor/solution has taken to simplify and
disrupt the APM marketplace.
Firstly, we’re thrilled to be recognized by a blogger, who in this case,
had previous hands on experience with Application Performance Management
(APM) products like OpTier, CA Wily, HP and dynaTrace. Secondly, whilst it
was obviously good (and slight... (more)
When I joined AppDynamics less than a year ago we were situated in a 6,000 sq
ft “cosy” office on 2nd and Brannan. On my first day I was greeted with a
MacBook Pro and was asked to find a spare desk amongst the boxes and carnage
of a typical startup environment. To my left was a relentless engineering and
UI team, and to my right was a fired up sales and marketing team, and a
quietly confident Founder and CEO, Jyoti Bansal who made all of this happen.
Across the office was a shiny gold bell mounted on the wall, which rang every
time AppDynamics closed a new customer. In the last ... (more)
App Man has a passion for making apps go faster ever since he was bitten by some radioactive byte code whilst working in Operations. He works with AppDynamics around the clock to help customers resolve performance pain and master application performance management.
