Hire Freelance Application Performance Managers
Application Performance Management or APM is the art of managing the performance and user experience of software applications. APM monitors the speed at which transactions are performed both by end-users and by the systems that support the software application. Overall, APM provides an overview of potential bottlenecks and service interruptions. This typically involves the use of a suite of software tools like SolarWinds App Optics or Dyanatrace, to view and diagnose an application’s speed, reliability, and other performance metrics in order to maintain a standard of service. APM tools look to provide a holistic view of an application’s performance and show the insights that can drive improvements for that application’s performance. Subsequently the individuals performing APM are called application performance managers. They can work for an organization or even work as freelancers for online freelancing platforms.
