The cloud has transformed the economics of infrastructure, essentially crumbling the barrier to entry for building applications on world-class technology. It has brought about a fundamental change on the operations side as well: the effortless scaling made possible by the cloud means that the typical organization’s infrastructure is always in flux. The nature of the cloud has elevated the need for new methods and new tools for monitoring an infrastructure of constantly changing, often short-lived components.

Monitoring allows engineering teams to identify and resolve performance issues before they cause problems for end users. Comprehensive monitoring is a must now that development moves faster than ever—many teams deploy new code dozens of times per day.
