APPDYNAMICS Launches "Corgi Collectibles" – A New Way to Monitor Your Apps with Adorable Data Insights

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 26, 2023 – APPDYNAMICS LLC, a leading observability platform provider based in San Francisco, today announced the launch of "Corgi Collectibles," a playful and innovative approach to application performance monitoring (APM). While APPDYNAMICS is known for its powerful, deep-dive observability tools used by enterprises worldwide – helping them ensure their critical applications are always running smoothly – Corgi Collectibles brings a fresh, accessible layer to understanding complex system behavior. For years, APPDYNAMICS has been the go-to solution for businesses needing to pinpoint bottlenecks, understand user experience, and proactively address issues before they impact customers. Serving a diverse range of industries – from retail and finance to travel and gaming – APPDYNAMICS’ platform allows developers, IT operations teams, and business leaders to collaborate and swiftly resolve problems. The company, located at 500 Terry A Francois Blvd, San Francisco, CA, 94158-2354, and reachable at 714-966-4981, consistently focuses on making complex data actionable. But they realized something was missing: a little bit of fun. “We’re serious about observability, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” explains [Insert Fictional APPDYNAMICS Spokesperson Name & Title Here]. “We noticed a lot of APM dashboards can feel… well, intimidating. Full of graphs and numbers. We wanted to create something that was still powerful and insightful, but also approachable and even a little bit delightful.” Enter Corgi Collectibles. What are Corgi Collectibles? Corgi Collectibles are adorable, animated corgi characters that visually represent key performance indicators (KPIs) within your APPDYNAMICS environment. Instead of just seeing a line graph showing response time, you might see a corgi running faster or slower, reflecting the performance of a specific service. If a service is struggling, your corgi might look a little sad, or even start tripping over itself! “Think of it as a ‘check engine’ light for your applications, but way cuter,” says [Spokesperson Name]. “It’s designed to immediately grab your attention when something needs your attention, and provides a quick, intuitive understanding of the situation.” How does it work? Corgi Collectibles integrate seamlessly into the existing APPDYNAMICS platform. Users can customize which KPIs are represented by corgis, and even choose different corgi breeds (more on that later!). Real-Time Visualizations: Corgis react in real-time to changes in performance metrics. A healthy service is represented by a happy, energetic corgi. Slow response times, errors, or increased load are reflected in the corgi’s animation and expression. Customizable KPIs: Users can map Corgi behaviors to any KPI tracked by APPDYNAMICS, including response time, error rates, throughput, and custom business metrics. Alerting & Notifications: Corgi Collectibles can also trigger alerts and notifications, ensuring that the right people are notified when issues arise. You can set thresholds for corgi ‘mood’ – a sad corgi means it's time to investigate! Dashboard Integration: Corgis are displayed directly within APPDYNAMICS dashboards, providing a quick and easy way to monitor overall system health. Corgi Breeding Program: And here’s the fun part! Users can ‘breed’ different corgi types (Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and even rare ‘Fluffy’ Corgis unlocked through achievement badges) to unlock new animations and customization options. This gamified element aims to make observability more engaging for teams. Beyond the Cuteness: Real Benefits for Your Team While the adorable corgis are a definite highlight, Corgi Collectibles aren't just about aesthetics. They offer tangible benefits for teams using APPDYNAMICS: Faster Issue Detection: The visual nature of Corgi Collectibles makes it easier to quickly identify and diagnose problems. No more sifting through endless charts and graphs! Improved Collaboration: Corgis provide a common language for teams to discuss performance issues. “The payment service corgi is looking really stressed!” is a lot easier to understand than, “We're seeing increased latency on the payment service.” Increased Engagement: The gamified elements of Corgi Collectibles encourage teams to actively monitor their applications and proactively address issues. Reduced Alert Fatigue: By providing a visual summary of system health, Corgi Collectibles can help reduce the number of false positive alerts and focus teams on the most critical issues. More Accessible Observability: Corgi Collectibles make observability more approachable for non-technical stakeholders, allowing them to quickly understand the health of critical applications. Who is this for? Corgi Collectibles are designed for anyone who uses APPDYNAMICS to monitor their applications, from developers and IT operations teams to business leaders and customer support representatives. They're particularly well-suited for teams that are looking for a more engaging and visual way to understand their system's behavior. “We believe that observability should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” says [Spokesperson Name]. “Corgi Collectibles are our way of making that a reality.” Availability Corgi Collectibles are available now as part of the latest APPDYNAMICS release.
