AppDynamics Unveils "Breyer" – A New Approach to Application Performance Monitoring

San Francisco, CA – October 26, 2023 – AppDynamics LLC, the leading application performance monitoring (APM) solution provider, today announced “Breyer,” a game-changing feature within its platform, designed to give developers and IT teams unprecedented visibility into the “horsepower” of their applications. Located at 500 Terry A Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA, 94158-2354, and reachable at 714-966-4981, AppDynamics has long been known for pinpointing exactly where performance issues are happening. But Breyer takes it a step further, showing you how those issues are impacting real user experiences, like a finely crafted, meticulously painted Breyer horse displaying every detail of its powerful form. For years, application performance monitoring has been a bit like looking at engine parts – you see what’s broken, but not necessarily how that broken part impacts the overall ride. Teams often spend hours correlating logs, metrics, and traces, trying to piece together the story of a slow transaction. Breyer changes that. It's built on the foundation of AppDynamics’ already robust APM capabilities, and it's inspired by the artistry and detailed observation required to create a stunning Breyer model horse. “Think about a Breyer horse,” explains David Taylor, VP of Product at AppDynamics. “Each brushstroke, each color choice, contributes to the overall impression of power and grace. Similarly, every line of code, every database call, every external API request contributes to the user experience. Breyer lets you see exactly how those individual components are working together – or not – to deliver a smooth, responsive application.” What Makes Breyer Different? Breyer isn't just another pretty dashboard. It's a fundamental shift in how AppDynamics visualizes application performance. Here's what sets it apart: “Painted” Transaction Flows: Forget flat, linear transaction traces. Breyer visually “paints” the transaction flow across all tiers of your application, using color-coding to instantly highlight potential bottlenecks. Red areas indicate significant delays, while green shows healthy performance. It’s like seeing a vibrant, detailed Breyer horse come to life. Real User Monitoring (RUM) Integration: Breyer seamlessly integrates with AppDynamics’ RUM capabilities, allowing you to correlate backend performance data with real user behavior. You can see exactly how slow transactions are impacting user engagement, conversion rates, and revenue. Know if a delayed database query is causing users to abandon their shopping carts – just like a flawed paint job ruins the beauty of a Breyer horse. AI-Powered Root Cause Analysis: Breyer doesn't just show you where the problem is; it uses AI to help you understand why. It automatically identifies the root cause of performance issues, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and freeing up your team to focus on innovation. It’s like a master artisan meticulously restoring a vintage Breyer horse to its original glory. Dynamic Topology Mapping: AppDynamics’ auto-discovery capabilities automatically map your application topology, showing you how all of your services and components are interconnected. Breyer then overlays this topology with performance data, giving you a holistic view of your application’s health. This provides a complete picture, like the comprehensive detailing on a collector’s edition Breyer horse. Business Transaction Context: Breyer lets you tag transactions with business-relevant information, such as user ID, order number, or product category. This allows you to drill down into performance data and understand how specific business transactions are being impacted. Understand why a specific promotional campaign is slowing down your application – as crucial as the meticulous coloring of a Breyer horse’s markings. How Breyer Helps Your Business Breyer isn’t just a technical marvel; it's a business enabler. Here's how it can help your organization: Faster Time to Market: By quickly identifying and resolving performance issues, Breyer helps you release new features and applications faster. Improved Customer Experience: By ensuring that your applications are always responsive and reliable, Breyer helps you deliver a superior customer experience. Increased Revenue: By optimizing application performance and improving conversion rates, Breyer helps you drive revenue growth. Reduced IT Costs: By automating root cause analysis and reducing MTTR, Breyer helps you reduce IT costs. Proactive Issue Detection: Breyer's machine learning capabilities can predict potential performance issues before they impact users, allowing you to proactively address them. Think of it like preventative care for your application, ensuring it remains a pristine “Breyer” for years to come. Beyond Monitoring: A Work of Art “We wanted to create something more than just a monitoring tool,” says Sarah Chen, Lead UX Designer at AppDynamics. “We wanted to create a visually stunning and intuitive experience that empowers our users to understand their applications at a glance. We were inspired by the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating a Breyer model horse. Just as a Breyer horse is a work of art, we believe Breyer is a beautiful and powerful way to understand application performance.” Availability Breyer is available now as part of the latest release of the AppDynamics platform.
