Application Performance Monitoring (APM) involves the continuous tracking and assessment of the performance of mission-critical applications, utilizing software tools and telemetry data. These tools gather information from diverse sources such as application logs, metrics, and traces, leveraging this data to identify and resolve performance issues.

The primary components in application performance monitoring encompass software and services. Software comprises a set of instructions, data, or computer programs employed to operate computers and execute various activities. Deployments of APM solutions can be either cloud-based or on-premises, catering to the needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as large enterprises. Various applications within APM include synthetic monitoring, end-user monitoring, mobile monitoring, and others. These applications find utility across multiple industries, including Banking, Finance, and Insurance (BFSI), IT and Telecom, Retail and E-commerce, Healthcare, Education, Media and Entertainment, Manufacturing, and others.
