Chapter 4. Topology

For DevOps controlling and monitoring mobile apps along a multitude of backend services and infrastructure, it is of tremendous interest to oversee the service and infrastructure dependencies of all published app versions in real time.

Modern monitoring solutions often just show one aspect of the entire picture, such as single metrics for server-side service performance or mobile app usage and install statistics. What these isolated monitoring technologies miss is a complete picture of mobile apps and how they are embedded within a global backend infrastructure. As today’s infrastructure is widely distributed across many different datacenters worldwide, it is necessary to span this big picture from datacenters and hosts up to processes and service levels.

Note

Within highly dynamic and virtualized infrastructure like the Docker environment, it is even more important to keep track of ongoing changes in the backend services at real time, as slight changes within the configuration could have fatal effects on your app’s crash rate.

In order to provide this big picture, it is necessary to monitor every single part within a complex environment, along with detailed mobile app monitoring, and to fill a common model with this information at real time, as shown in Figure 4-1.
