The widespread adoption of containers and Kubernetes has made cloud-native applications the cornerstone of many business operations. While they enable rapid application development and delivery, their nature to scale up and disappear in seconds is beyond the static, monolithic applications that traditional monitoring tools were built for. This creates significant visibility gaps and blind spots for organizations.

Cloud-native application monitoring platforms provide organizations with in-depth visibility of applications built and deployed in cloud-native environments and examine the performance across layers of the cloud-native stacks by collecting, processing, and analyzing telemetry data, such as metrics, logs, traces, and alerts, to ensure application performance, reliability, and security.

• Why is the cloud-native application monitoring platform landscape poised for exponential growth?
• What role do cloud-native application monitoring platforms play in enhancing broader observability platforms that provide in-depth visibility from infrastructure to network layers to application performance to user experience?
• How are rapid innovations expanding the scope of monitoring across a broader, multicloud, hybrid environment and creating new growth opportunities?
