 Product manager, Pratul Dublish, wrote in a blog post: "Here at Google, we understand the importance of having applications run at optimal speed. Awesome performance of your application is critical for end user satisfaction and retention. User expectations for application performance are already high and applications with poor performance risk losing users. For example, 25% of users abandon a web page if its load time is more than four seconds and 86% of users delete an application after poor performance. Ask any developer who has experienced the stress of diagnosing performance issues in production and you will find that it is extremely difficult to isolate the root cause of poor performance when it happens. This is especially true when the sluggish behavior is only seen by a small fraction of your users. We introduced Google Cloud Trace at Google I/O 2014 and gave an in-depth talk and demo at Google Cloud Platform Live back in November. Today, we’re announcing the beta release of Google Cloud Trace which is now available to all Google Cloud Platform customers. With Google Cloud Trace, you can diagnose performance issues in your production application by quickly finding the traces for slow requests and viewing a detailed report of where time is spent in your application while processing these requests. Its trace analysis feature allows you to see the latency distribution for your application, and find the painfully slow requests that may be affecting only a small number of your users. You can also use the trace analysis feature to check if the performance of a new release is better than the previous release. " Read source at >> |
