New Relic Feature Spotlight: Deployment Tracking [Video]
Blog post from New Relic
Bill, concerned about his application's performance issues following a recent update, approaches Peter to discuss the potential causes, leading Peter to consider using New Relic APM's Deployment Tracking feature to diagnose the problem. Deployment Tracking allows users to monitor how code deployments impact application performance by marking deployment times on performance charts, providing insights into changes such as Apdex scores and throughput. New Relic offers various integration methods for Deployment Tracking, including command-line interfaces and a REST API, which can be used to track not only code deployments but also architectural and business changes. The author, Phil Weber, emphasizes that Deployment Tracking is an effective tool for quickly identifying performance issues and encourages sharing experiences with the feature on New Relic's community forums, while also noting that the views expressed are personal and not representative of New Relic as a company.
