Beyond Deployment: Successful Enterprise Application Management in Production

The road to application success does not end at deployment. In fact, an application's life is longer after development and initial implementation than it is before, and success is measured almost exclusively by the experience of the application's end-users. Perceived or real, poor application performance can have a lasting effect, and can negatively impact an organization's bottom-line. Measuring availability, key performance metrics, and having timely notification of issues reach the "right people" across the entire application stack is imperative.

In this session we will talk about the importance of a monitoring mindset through the entire "Build -> Run -> Manage" lifecycle of an application, how to identify key performance metrics across an application stack, and how to overlay responsibility work-flows for timely issue notification. The information and discussion is meant to be generally applicable, but specific examples will be imparted using the SpringSource HQ monitoring tool-set.
