Spot every Spring Boot application issue on the spot using AppDynamics!

Engineering | October 25, 2021 | ...
Today, we are excited to announce the integration of AppDynamics in the Azure Spring Cloud for full stack observability. Over the past 20 months, we worked with many enterprise customers to learn about the scenarios they face. Many of these customers have thousands of Spring Boot applications running in on-premises data centers. As they migrate these applications to the cloud, they need to instrument them for application performance monitoring (APM) using solutions their developers are familiar with and have been using for years. In addition, they must ensure continuity for desktop and mobile…
