Cloud Application Perspective: Use Cases
Monitoring Back-end Web APIs
Your Website handles a wide range of transactions. Thanks to the programmable Web and Web oriented architecture, you can deliver lots of services, without having to develop them yourself.
As a result, Web APIs now facilitate a number of services within your application, but are they slowing down performance? Are you meeting your SLAs? Cloud Application Perspective can answer these questions by monitoring the APIs your app depends upon and alerting you to problems before they impact users.
Performance Impact
21% of all Website performance issues are caused by issues with data feeds from other applications. A simple ping check to monitor the availability of a Web API connection does not reveal the availability of the operation required by your application.
Service Levels
If you’re paying for access to a Web service provider’s application, you expect they deliver the service to agreed upon levels. To hold your provider accountable for those service levels, you need consistent and objective data demonstrating their performance.
How Can Cloud Application Perspective Help?
With Keynote Cloud Application Perspective you can rest assured that you’ll be the first to know if something goes wrong. We give you the tools to consistently monitor the performance and uptime of your Web services and Web API’s. Monitor the performance of multi-step transactions, or a simple request, including SOAP or REST, to keep your WOA at peak performance. Supported response formats include XML, JSON and text.
