Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi), observed on March 14th (3/14) in the month/day format. Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium, and has since become a popular holiday among mathematicians, scientists, and math enthusiasts around the world.

Why are we doing this?

Software complexity increases every day. Long gone are the days when we could look at the log file of some piece of software and try to troubleshoot it. Applications organically become more complex as new features are added. More importantly, the methods we use to build new scalable applications also become complex over time. Distributed Computing, Microservices architectures, to name a few, are powerful methods for modern application development but any software built in such ways is inherently harder to troubleshoot.

Fortunately, most issues in running applications are simple. They are almost obvious after they are discovered and, in some cases, easy to fix. The trick is how to find them and having the right tooling makes all the difference. Application Performance Management tools help software and operations engineers troubleshoot and monitor software applications. They provide visibility into an application architecture and operating characteristics, expedite error identification and resolution, and enhance application performance and tuning options.

What happened? How can we fix it? How long will we be down? Those are questions that are asked when some issue is discovered that is a result of subtle bugs, transient errors, dependency failures, breaking changes, timeouts, etc. Formally called Root Cause Analysis, it is the process of analyzing an event that had some undesired outcome and developing corrective actions. Speed is critical when conducting an RCA because maybe servers are down, vital functionality is unavailable or some other problem that must be mitigated as soon as possible.

Properly facilitating APM and RCA for an individual can transform a Tier-1 support engineer into a self-sustained, aware, well-equipped resource who can predominantly self-help or know which escalation engineer to involve next.

Immersive Fusion is a startup with a new vision for Application Performance Management. We enable you to diagnostically Enter the World of Your Application to see what is wrong and offer a simplicity of onboarding, use, billing, root cause analysis. We cut through the noise and nonsense in a way that allows you to focus on the problem signal. Our tools in web and 3D/VR empower users from Tier 1 support to operations and architect. We are committed to delivering on this vision and are ready to use our money to prove Immersive APM can serve you better.
