Modern Observability Platform

Basic monitoring allows the monitoring of known and static components - teams decide what to monitor but most monitoring tools are not compatible with complex native cloud applications and containerized environments.

The growth of observability over the past few years has been remarkable, and for good reason. In a constantly changing IT environment, where new technologies are being adopted at a rapid pace, it is increasingly difficult to ensure a reliable IT stack. Monitoring alone is no longer enough to get the full picture of the internal health of components across the entire IT stack. Observability provides a deeper insight into the IT environment, with the ability to detect and identify root causes, as well as the full impact of any failure across the entire infrastructure. Organizations are increasingly moving from basic monitoring to observability, resulting in greater visibility into the environment and reliability.

Dependencies refer to the relationship between different components of an application. This includes understanding the data flow between components, as well as any dependencies on external systems or services. A thorough understanding of these dependencies is essential for reliable and efficient operations. By tracking dependencies, teams can identify potential issues and ensure that the application is running smoothly.

At ServicePilot, we believe that it is better to analyze real applications and monitor dependencies rather than the other way around. This is called Top-Down monitoring. By analyzing real applications and their dependencies, we can automatically identify any problems that may arise, as well as potential performance issues. This can help us to proactively solve any problems, as well as improve the overall performance of the applications.
