It's not good enough to know the supporting infrastructure is running and has adequate resources. It's not enough to see the application and the database are meeting performance expectations. Whether you're a systems administrator, monitoring engineer, developer, SRE, or DBA, you must know if you’re meeting your end user's expectations regardless of how many green lights are showing in your NOC.

So, what is full-stack visibility? Why is it important?

Full-stack monitoring starts with high-level end-user insights and includes health and application performance data down to the code level. By combining an application performance monitoring (APM) tool and a database-centric monitoring tool, you get maximum visibility, which reduces downtime, speeds up troubleshooting, improves performance, and delivers an excellent end-user experience.
