APPDYNAMICS Launches "Corgi Collectibles" – A Playful Approach to Performance Monitoring

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 8, 2023 – APPDYNAMICS LLC, a leading provider of application performance monitoring (APM) solutions, today announced the launch of “Corgi Collectibles,” a new, gamified approach to understanding and optimizing application performance. Forget dry dashboards and complicated alerts – APPDYNAMICS is bringing a little fun to the serious business of keeping applications running smoothly. For years, APPDYNAMICS has been the go-to solution for businesses needing to see exactly what’s happening inside their applications. We’re talking full visibility, from the user experience all the way down to the code. Headquartered at 500 Terry A Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA, 94158, APPDYNAMICS helps companies like [mention a few fictional, diverse industry clients - e.g., "Global Retail Co.," "FinTech Innovators," "Connected Healthcare Systems"] make sure their apps are fast, reliable, and keep customers happy. You can reach us at 714-966-4981. But we realized monitoring performance could be… well, a bit boring. Enter Corgi Collectibles. What are Corgi Collectibles? Think of it like digital Beanie Babies, but instead of collecting plush toys, you’re collecting adorable, animated corgi characters. These aren’t just cute faces, though. Each corgi represents a key performance indicator (KPI) within your application – things like transaction response time, error rates, database query performance, and more. “We wanted to take the stress out of performance monitoring,” explains [Fictional APPDYNAMICS Product Lead, e.g., Sarah Chen, VP of Product Innovation]. “Instead of staring at red alerts, you’re ‘discovering’ new corgis as your application performance improves. It’s a subtle shift, but it makes a huge difference in how teams approach monitoring.” How Does it Work? Corgi Collectibles integrates seamlessly into the existing APPDYNAMICS platform. Here’s the breakdown: Performance = Corgis: As your application performs better, you unlock new corgi collectibles. Faster response times? A brand new, fluffy corgi appears! Fewer errors? Another adorable pup joins your collection. Rarity & Traits: Each corgi has a rarity level (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary) based on the difficulty of achieving the corresponding performance metric. They also have unique traits – maybe one corgi is a "Speed Demon" reflecting fast transaction times, or another is a "Zen Master" representing low error rates. Collection & Sharing: Users can view their full corgi collection within the APPDYNAMICS console. They can also share their rarest corgis with colleagues, fostering a bit of friendly competition and collaboration. Real-Time Insights: Don’t be fooled by the cuteness! Underneath the adorable exterior, Corgi Collectibles still provides the same powerful performance data that APPDYNAMICS is known for. Clicking on a corgi reveals detailed insights into the underlying metric, allowing teams to quickly identify and resolve issues. Customizable Goals: Teams can set custom performance goals and tailor the corgi rewards to their specific needs. Want to focus on database performance? Configure the system to unlock special “Database Detective” corgis when query times improve. Beyond the Cuteness: The Power of Gamification APPDYNAMICS isn’t just adding a fun skin to existing tools. They’re leveraging the principles of gamification to address a core challenge in application performance monitoring: engagement. “Historically, performance monitoring has been seen as a necessary evil,” says [Fictional APPDYNAMICS CTO, e.g., David Lee, Chief Technology Officer]. “Teams check the dashboards when something goes wrong, but they don’t necessarily proactively monitor performance. Corgi Collectibles flips that around. It encourages teams to actively engage with performance data, celebrate successes, and identify potential issues before they impact customers.” Here’s how gamification helps: Positive Reinforcement: Unlocking new corgis provides a sense of accomplishment and motivates teams to continue optimizing performance. Increased Engagement: The playful nature of the collectibles makes performance monitoring more enjoyable and less daunting. Improved Collaboration: Sharing corgis and competing for the rarest collectibles fosters teamwork and knowledge sharing. Data-Driven Culture: Corgi Collectibles encourages teams to focus on key performance indicators and make data-driven decisions.
