Application Performance Diagnostics

Stop wasting time tracking down hidden bugs

The challenge development teams face is that as applications become more complex finding the root cause of any application performance issue can be quite daunting. Determining which component of an application is at fault can take weeks, especially if the decline in application performance is occurring on an intermittent basis.

The Application Performance Diagnostics (APD) cloud service makes it much simpler to discover and diagnose performance issues affecting low-code applications long before most end user ever encounter them. Development teams can pinpoint performance issues as the earliest stages of the application development process.

Not only does that provide peace of mind for the development team, the APD module makes certain developers have the time they need to write new code instead of wasting time tracking down hidden bugs in existing production applications.

Going deeper into Mendix than any other tool

APD is a cloud service that is optimized specifically for the Mendix development model. That makes it possible for developers to analyze the applications they build using the Mendix low-code platform ay the deepest level possible. No other APD tool can match this. Best of all, APD analyzes all activities in the application, including underlying functions and user behavior, in the background.

What is your alternative? Manually reviewing logs?

The alternative to employing an APD tool is nothing short of painful. Development teams need to design test cases. To find out the cause of the problems, they will have to search the code manually. Developers then need to spend a lot of time reviewing runtime logs as they try to replicate an issue. That often fails because the developers will have to wait until the time when the problem occurs again with the user.

Will you wait for the end-user to complain?

Organizations that rely on this approach are inherently reactive. They can only try to address an issue once an end-user makes a complaint to the help desk. That approach generates a lot of pressure for all concerned. In contrast, organizations that make use of APD tools are proactive. Most issues wind up being surfaced long before the application ever gets deployed, while other issues are identified before most end users are even aware of the problem.

Fast diagnosis of performance issues

APD analyzes specific functions at the deepest level of the application model to identify where improvements can be made.

Increased productivity

Development teams find root causes of issues faster.

Accelerated error detection

APD logs the most important data the second an error occurs. It is no longer necessary to have the error reproduced by the user.

Higher end-user satisfaction

Faster application response times lead to greater end-user satisfaction.

Track performance trends

APD identifies application performance trends over time to identify issues before application owners notice.

Less DevOps fatigue

The need to set up stressful “war rooms” to identify who might be at fault is sharply reduced.
