Challenges With Traditional Web App Performance Monitoring

As the web has become increasingly complex, so have the challenges associated with monitoring web app performance. Traditional monitoring tools are often unable to give visibility into modern web apps, which are often composed of numerous microservices and run on distributed systems. This can make it difficult to get an accurate picture of what's really happening with your web app's performance.

There are a few key challenges that make traditional web app performance monitoring difficult:

1. Lack of visibility into microservices

2. Difficulty understanding distributed systems

3. Lack of real-time data

4. Inability to track user experience

These challenges can make it hard to troubleshoot performance issues, identify potential bottlenecks, and optimize your web app for peak performance.
