The COVID-19 situation has further put a spotlight on the WAN as an agent of change ...

Most of us have personally felt the effects of an application failing on us on some level. Sometimes, the impact a software outage has on us is trivial — we are temporarily unable to book a flight for vacation, we are forced to call a customer service rep rather than using an online portal, or we're unable to watch an on-demand movie. While frustrating, these experiences are often inconvenient rather than catastrophic. But what about when the application failure has much larger implications? ...

In today's iterative world, development teams care a lot more about how apps are running. There's a demand for fixing actionable items. Developers want to know exactly what's broken, what to fix right now, and what can wait. They want to know, "Do we build or fix?"

With the rise of mobile apps and iterative development releases, Application Stability has answered the widespread need to monitor applications in a new way, shifting the focus from servers and networks to the customer experience.
