Is AWS XRAY an APM?
First of all AWS X-Ray is not a full APM tool, it provides data on distributed traces for applications running in AWS. X-Ray provides distributed tracing for developers, so they can analyze performance and availability of their services and applications running on AWS EC2, AWS Container Service or AWS Beanstalk.
What is AWS xray?
AWS X-Ray is a service that helps developers analyze and debug distributed applications. Customers use X-Ray to monitor application traces, including the performance of calls to other downstream components or services, in either cloud-hosted applications or from their own machines during development.
What is APM in New Relic?
With New Relic’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM), you have real-time and trending data about performance for your web apps and processes (non-web apps). Instead, use the collective power of New Relic One to understand what to do with your detailed data, across your entire stack.
What does AppDynamics do?
With an SaaS and an on-premise option, AppDynamics is an APM platform that uses analytics and end-to-end transaction tracing to determine how application performance impacts business outcomes.
Is XRAY free AWS?
With AWS X-Ray, there are no upfront fees or commitments. You pay only for what you use, based on the number of traces recorded, retrieved, and scanned. A trace represents a request to your application and may include multiple data points, such as for calls to other services and database access.
How do I enable xray on AWS?

How often is APM data sent to New Relic?
every five seconds
With real time streaming, your APM event data is sent to New Relic every five seconds. You can query and visualize your data for transactions, errors, and custom events in near real time.
What is an APM solution?
Application performance monitoring (APM) is the practice of tracking key software application performance metrics using monitoring software and telemetry data. Practitioners use APM to ensure system availability, optimize service performance and response times, and improve user experiences.
What can you use to monitor function invocation?
When your Lambda function finishes processing an event, Lambda sends metrics about the invocation to Amazon CloudWatch. You can build graphs and dashboards with these metrics on the CloudWatch console, and set alarms to respond to changes in utilization, performance, or error rates.
What is the difference between Prometheus and New Relic?
New Relic is the all-in-one web application performance tool that lets you see performance from the end user experience, through servers, and down to the line of application code. On the other hand, Prometheus is detailed as “An open-source service monitoring system and time series database, developed by SoundCloud”.
What is AWS X-ray and how does it work?
What is AWS X-Ray? AWS X-Ray is a service that collects data about requests that your application serves, and provides tools you can use to view, filter, and gain insights into that data to identify issues and opportunities for optimization.
