AppDynamics is a company based in San Francisco that focuses on APM and operation analytics. The company provides APM tools to developers and architects to sort out performance-related issues. Developers can combine these APM tools with their own analytic approach. AppDynamics provides people with a significant amount of detail, enabling them to solve problems.

The tools provided by AppDynamics baseline-monitor an application's performance and provide reports on issues relating to the performance of an app. AppDynamics, therefore, requires access to all information regarding transactions that are performed in an application.

APM tools are basically designed to cater to production environments that allow for quick and efficient access to crucial transaction details. They are set to automatically detect normal performance behavior and prevent any false alarms, which can be dealt with by dynamic baselining.

AppDynamics keeps track of all transactions by comparing the self-learned baseline and the authentic response time. When any kind of deviation in the usual behavior of a business transaction occurs, the agent gathers all of the call stack's data so that it can help in sorting out possible issues which may have occurred.

This smart analytical technique helps AppDynamics to determine where the problem is before sending out an alert at the very beginning. This helps to solve problems earlier on, before they get too complex to solve.

AppDynamics has a solution for capturing data throughout the entire system. It provides a feature that allows the user to carry out system-wide data recording and capturing. The ideal for pre-production environments is the developer mode, where a transaction snapshot is used to record requests. Most importantly, when it is accidentally left on, the system will shut down immediately. This feature ensures that the system will not stall when the number of transactions increases or decreases.
