Azure Functions play a vital role in the serverless architectures of many organizations. However, the complexities of dynamic cloud environments often obscure performance bottlenecks and cost inefficiencies. Traditional monitoring solutions frequently fall short, providing limited visibility into the intricate interplay between application performance monitoring (APM) services and serverless functions.
New Relic addresses this challenge with a purpose-built solution for monitoring Azure Functions. This comprehensive suite of features empowers cloud developers and organizations to gain unparalleled insights into their serverless applications, enabling deeper understanding, streamlined troubleshooting, and ultimately, optimized performance and cost management.
Key features and benefits:
- Unmatched hosting plan support: Unlike other solutions, New Relic supports both dedicated and consumption-based Azure Function hosting plans. This versatility ensures comprehensive monitoring capabilities, regardless of your deployment strategy, allowing organizations to effectively manage serverless resources across diverse operational models.
- Granular invocation insights: Gain a detailed understanding of each function invocation, allowing you to identify performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities. This granular level of visibility promotes efficient resource utilization and enhances application performance.
- Simplified distributed tracing: Visualize and track HTTP requests as they traverse your serverless architecture. This capability simplifies troubleshooting by pinpointing the precise location of issues within complex, interconnected systems.
