This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Catchpoint CEO and co-founder Mehdi Daoudi, Eric Wright, Jon Myer, and Alastair Cooke. Internet applications are seldom self-contained, relying on other web services for specialized functions and needing responses from the services before a final response to a user. Functions such as DDoS protection, tracking, embedded advertising, and other valuable services enable faster application feature development, but at what cost? Any delayed response from these services can slow down your application for your users, leading to dissatisfaction, even when your servers perform beautifully. Remember that the services you choose to use may, in turn, use other external services. Catchpoint champions user-centric monitoring and Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) to complement existing APM tools. Visibility of issues outside your data center is vital to identifying issues before they become helpdesk tickets or application outages.
