IBM Instana Adidas Hype
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Instana
As our Hype products regularly attract large amounts of attention along with potential bots, we use IBM Instana in my area to check for the stability of API calls during high heat launches. We also use it to troubleshoot issues within our APP and to find out what went down and what magnitude the spikes causing our issues had.
Pros
- It provides a history of API calls we have along with when spikes occur.
- It provides an Erroneous call rate showing the stability/user experience in that moment.
- Through kubernetes clusters we are able to allocate our resources better for demand.
Cons
- Smart alerts and automatic alert systems are somewhat hard to implement.
- Finding creators of either smart alerts or graphs is also hard to figure out.
- The learning curve with working on IBM Instana is very high.
- Dashboard
- Smart Alerts
- Applications/calls
- System down time is shortened as our ability to troubleshoot issues goes up.
- Potential downtime is stopped as we are able to slow down calls/ availability of calls in response to monitoring the dashboard.
- We are able to react to issues quickly through the smart alert system rather than manual checks.
