SOASTA announced today enhancements to its Digital Performance Management (DPM) Platform to better support digital business IT operations and developers.
The Spring 2016 Release features advancements in front-end web and mobile performance optimization and support for popular open source tools and frameworks, including JMeter.
“With the rising challenge to deliver a positive customer experience, the CIO organization must develop a prioritized to-do list to thrive in this rapidly changing environment,” explained SOASTA CEO Tom Lounibos. “By analyzing performance metrics in the context of the user’s experience and business impact, SOASTA enables IT teams to prioritize and solve problems directly impacting their users, helping organizations save valuable time and resources.”
He added, “Our focus with the spring release is to meet the evolving needs of IT operations and developers, delivering performance data and efficiency. This product release offers capabilities that improve the way IT Ops and DevOps teams develop, manage and monitor critical apps and services. These enhancements address the top performance challenges faced by companies today and illustrate our ongoing commitment to DPM leadership.”
SOASTA mPulse highlights include:
- Comprehensive Single Page Apps (SPA) real-user monitoring (RUM) capability with added support for the React framework, in addition to AngularJS, Ember.js and Backbone.js.
- Support for Google Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), critical to current customers moving to AMP but wanting to continue using mPulse.
- External solution integration with key partners and best-in-breed tools, including Rigor’s synthetic monitoring and optimization platform and Dynatrace’s APM, allowing users to pull Dynatrace APM data into mPulse. With synthetic results and RUM data correlated, a full end-to-end view of performance is provided.
SOASTA’s CloudTest platform, a proven provider of real-time analytics for in-production testing, now supports:
- Testing using JMeter scripts at scale, with real-time analytics, unmatched geographic distribution of test servers, and real-time control that no open source or commercial competitor solution can match.
- Most complete network emulation feature for accurate performance tests which take into account network characteristics such as latency, jitter and lost packets. In addition, SOASTA’s network emulation feature allows testers to more accurately simulate real-world network conditions. The result is total insight into how networks affect performance, with the industry’s deepest real-time analytics to provide guidance on “what do we need to do next?”
- Both CloudTest and TouchTest now support version control with integration to Git and Git-compatible version control systems. With the new release, users can secure and track all changes to testing assets so that teams can make changes and stay in sync with the latest versions and even reverse a change if needed.
The SOASTA Spring 2016 Release is now available to all SOASTA customers.

Outages aren't new. What's new is how quickly they spread across systems, vendors, regions and customer workflows. The moment that performance degrades, expectations escalate fast. In today's always-on environment, an outage isn't just a technical event. It's a trust event ...
Most organizations approach OpenTelemetry as a collection of individual tools they need to assemble from scratch. This view misses the bigger picture. OpenTelemetry is a complete telemetry framework with composable components that address specific problems at different stages of organizational maturity. You start with what you need today and adopt additional pieces as your observability practices evolve ...
One of the earliest lessons I learned from architecting throughput-heavy services is that simplicity wins repeatedly: fewer moving parts, loosely coupled execution (fewer synchronous calls), and precise timing metering. You want data and decisions to travel the shortest possible path. The goal is to build a system where every strategy and each line of code (contention is the key metric) complements the decision trees ...
As discussions around AI "autonomous coworkers" accelerate, many industry projections assume that agents will soon operate alongside human staff in making decisions, taking actions, and managing tasks with minimal oversight. But a growing number of critics (including some of the developers building these systems) argue that the industry still has a long way to go to be able to treat AI agents like fully trusted teammates ...
Enterprise AI has entered a transformational phase where, according to Digitate's recently released survey, Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise IT, companies are moving beyond traditional automation toward Agentic AI systems designed to reason, adapt, and collaborate alongside human teams ...
The numbers back this urgency up. A recent Zapier survey shows that 92% of enterprises now treat AI as a top priority. Leaders want it, and teams are clamoring for it. But if you look closer at the operations of these companies, you see a different picture. The rollout is slow. The results are often delayed. There's a disconnect between what leaders want and what their technical infrastructure can handle ...
Kyndryl's 2025 Readiness Report revealed that 61% of global business and technology leaders report increasing pressure from boards and regulators to prove AI's ROI. As the technology evolves and expectations continue to rise, leaders are compelled to generate and prove impact before scaling further. This will lead to a decisive turning point in 2026 ...
Cloudflare's disruption illustrates how quickly a single provider's issue cascades into widespread exposure. Many organizations don't fully realize how tightly their systems are coupled to third party services, or how quickly availability and security concerns align when those services falter ... You can't avoid these dependencies, but you can understand them ...
If you work with AI, you know this story. A model performs during testing, looks great in early reviews, works perfectly in production and then slowly loses relevance after operating for a while. Everything on the surface looks perfect — pipelines are running, predictions or recommendations are error-free, data quality checks show green; yet outcomes don't meet the ground reality. This pattern often repeats across enterprise AI programs. Take for example, a mid-sized retail banking and wealth-management firm with heavy investments in AI-powered risk analytics, fraud detection and personalized credit-decisioning systems. The model worked well for a while, but transactions increased, so did false positives by 18% ...
Basic uptime is no longer the gold standard. By 2026, network monitoring must do more than report status, it must explain performance in a hybrid-first world. Networks are no longer just static support systems; they are agile, distributed architectures that sit at the very heart of the customer experience and the business outcomes ... The following five trends represent the new standard for network health, providing a blueprint for teams to move from reactive troubleshooting to a proactive, integrated future ...
