CopperEgg announced its entry into the APM market with the latest release of its end-to-end cloud performance monitoring solution, now including Real User Monitoring (RUM).
The solution provides complete visibility across servers, websites, applications and end users, whether in public, private or hybrid cloud environments.
CopperEgg’s RUM solution monitors, troubleshoots and optimizes applications in the cloud, connecting the dots between real user experience and infrastructure behavior.
The solution is purpose-built for elastic, burstable cloud environments including Amazon, Rackspace, Windows Azure, and many others.
Designed, packaged and priced for production, it allows enterprises to quickly and economically scale their architecture up or down to meet evolving business needs.
Key features include:
- Unified dashboard — provides one-stop monitoring and service level correlation customizable by role or user
- Ops-centric design — supports production-wide deployment and operations use cases
- End-to-end stack – provides holistic view across servers, websites, applications and users
- Hybrid cloud coverage – reduces management siloes across public, private and on-premises environments
- Deep forensics and real-time analysis — pinpoint problem areas and alert to potential issues in two clicks or less
- Broad RUM transaction types, tuning and alerting – includes AJAX monitoring, APDEX configurability and granular alerting and reporting on response times across geographies and browsers
- Elastic, self-adapting architecture – modifies automatically in response to operating environment changes
- Third-party integration — leverages existing tools including Chef, Puppet and GitHub
In addition, CopperEgg’s SaaS delivery model eliminates capital expenses with affordable, pay-as-you-go pricing that provides zero admin installation and configuration, and supports widespread deployment across production applications.
With more than 650 customers including Alcatel-Lucent, SmugMug, The Climate Corporation, Couchsurfing, Thomson Reuters, Mass Relevance, The Economist, FeedMagnet and others, CopperEgg processes more than 100 billion records a day while delivering real-time performance monitoring. The company, which was acquired by Idera in July, plans to leverage Idera’s deep expertise in application performance management to expand its APM footprint across a broad range of applications and platforms.
“In the cloud, if your applications are down, your business is down – and everyone knows it. The worst thing you can do is have your customers as the first line of defense,” said Josh Stephens, VP of product strategy at CopperEgg. “From the C-suite to the DevOps team, CopperEgg gives organizations complete visibility into the health of cloud applications, eliminating costly guesswork and downtime and enabling more strategic activities.”
The CopperEgg RUM solution is available in public beta immediately. General availability begins Dec. 1, 2013, and includes a free 14-day trial.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
