AppDynamics
AppDynamics, now part of Cisco, is an application performance monitoring (APM) and observability platform that provides full-stack visibility into application, business, and infrastructure performance. The platform offers REST APIs for controller management, metrics, alerts, analytics events, database monitoring, and the next-generation Cisco Cloud Observability platform.
