Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a platform that provides a multitude of services. In fact, AWS provides more than 175 different services such as computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools, and tools for the Internet of Things.
You can build, host, run, and monitor your software entirely within AWS. AWS eliminates the need for developers and businesses to have their own servers, databases, or networks.
AWS is the world’s biggest and most widely adopted cloud platform. It has completely changed how web applications are built, and the nature of DevOps and SRE work.
There are many options for doing performance monitoring for applications built in AWS. AWS provides a monitoring tool called CloudWatch that automatically pulls in metrics from all areas of your application. However, using CloudWatch for everything can become very expensive.
If you’re monitoring a small application, CloudWatch will be suitable for your monitoring needs. However, if you’re monitoring a massive application with lots of custom metrics, the cost of monitoring with CloudWatch quickly escalates to beyond reasonable.
Monitoring your AWS with MetricFire is a great option for reducing the cost of your monitoring and for getting better functionality. MetricFire can pull your metrics directly from AWS and put them into a custom AWS monitoring dashboard. MetricFire can alert on these metrics, and can send notifications directly to your phone, email, or slack.
Pingdom is a monitoring system that uses both synthetic and real user monitoring to deliver enhanced app and website troubleshooting.
Pingdom's synthetic monitoring allows you to simulate visitor interaction with your website or app to spot app errors or website failures before your users do. You can monitor site uptime from over a hundred locations worldwide or troubleshoot your website speed and identify webpage issues. You can also test user transactions such as shopping carts, logins, registrations, and even URL hijacking.
Pingdom's real-time user monitoring allows you to monitor how your users interact with your website or app. Pingdom's real user monitoring (RUM) is fully scalable and intuitive. Learn how your users experience your site based on device, location, and browser. Ensure you meet your SLAs or KPIs by setting your own goals and monitoring your performance. Record and compare user metrics over time to see how your website performs over weeks, months, or years.
Digital marketers can use Pingdom's synthetic monitoring to test new campaigns and ensure their users have the best experience. They can use Pingdom's real-time user monitoring to review how different user experience aspects, such as browser type or device, affect sales.
Web developers can test for website or app performance and spot defects while updates are in development. Web host providers can monitor performance in real-time to ensure client uptime. IT/Web Ops can use synthetic monitoring to quickly identify bottlenecks and spot backend issues with Pingdom's real-time user monitoring.
With MetricFire, you can amplify Pingdom's synthetic and real-time user monitoring. By integrating Pingdom with the MetricFire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. With MetricFire, you can quickly understand complex websites at a glance or compare your Pingdom data with other monitoring systems.
