User experience is increasingly magnified as we leverage digital platforms for everything. In an unfortunate twist, it's the user experience that too many digital businesses neglect while trying to stand out in today's hyper-competitive landscape.

In the fast-paced world of digital streaming, the ability to scale and adapt is crucial for delivering high-quality user experiences. With millions of users engaging with dozens of apps at a time, operations teams need the scale and agility to monitor and optimize every individual user experience in real-time. It’s a massive scale challenge.

This past Saturday’s playoff game represented the highest day of internet use in US history. NBC Sports reported that Saturday’s Chiefs / Dolphins game reached 27.6 million viewers, ranking as the most streamed event in US history. Conviva is proud to continue our eight year partnership with NBC Universal.

User experience is a complex subject. Many digital businesses, big data platforms, and observability and analytics solutions have tried to find a way to represent it effectively, but the effort, manpower, and budget required to get even a small glimpse of what users are encountering on the front-end of digital platforms has been unsustainable.

While Observability and Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools have transformed how engineering and operations teams function over the last ten years, there are several challenges that every VP of Ops and CTO still face with no clear solution in sight. Explore this eBook by Conviva to uncover the profound influence of Experience-Centric Operations.

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital services, the role of real-time monitoring and incident response has become critical to maintaining healthy application experiences. Companies need monitoring tools to keep their systems running smoothly. But monitoring is just one piece of the puzzle. How teams get alerted to incidents and how quickly they identify root cause can make or break their digital experiences.

While Observability and Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools have transformed how engineering and operations teams function over the last ten years, there are several challenges that every VP of Ops and CTO still face with no clear solution in sight.

Today’s monitoring tools focus almost exclusively on backend servers and applications. Unfortunately, this means ops teams are completely disconnected from the user experience, leaving them guessing in the dark and with no context on how to prioritize.

Conviva’s approach to build a platform for Experience-Centric Operations involves two key technologies: 1) A thin SDK (we call Sensor), which is a new approach to collecting data from application endpoint and 2) Time-State Technology, which is a new abstraction and system for efficient, real-time, and stateful data processing at scale.
