3 things to focus on in life, no matter who you are
3 things to focus on in life, no matter who you are:
- Health
- Relationships
- Purpose in life.
Without health, no matter how much wealth you accumulate or how great a person you become, you don't get to enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Relationships are no different. Family & Friends provide a sense of belonging. No matter what phase of life you are in, relationships are the second most impressive thing in life.
Purpose in life! The third most important thing. It is something that gets you up in the morning and makes you hustle. Without a purpose there will be no fulfillment or satisfaction in life.
Now, let's shift gears to the software world.
If the health of the software you own as a Product Owner or even as a DevOps engineer, or may be as a QA engineer, is determined by the availability and response time of how fast your pages or capabilities load, wouldn't you focus on it as the first priority. You will. If not, you should focus on it - the health of your application!
And that's where proactive monitoring matters. Proactive monitoring is much like an Apple Watch for your business. It finds out early stage issues even before the issue becomes a problem. This simple concept of proactive monitoring can be done using "synthetic monitoring scripts".
Big-Tech-Observability companies never promote it. Because if everyone does proactive monitoring, # of issues are gonna come down. If the # of issues are down, the million dollar "Big-Tech Observability Tools" does not take up the prime spot in triage calls.
The only thing needed to reduce the # of issues is to do "proactive monitoring" in an effective way.
Over a period of 1 year PerfAgents guarantees a significant amount of effort and budget reduction by simply proactively monitoring your software using the right methods.
Remember, it's always Health, Relationships and The Purpose that drives everything else and the first and foremost is always the health...
Be it for your human self or for the applications you own!
