Application Performance Monitoring (APM) focuses on tracking and analyzing the performance and behavior of applications. It provides insights into response times, error rates, and transaction performance, helping identify bottlenecks and optimize user experience. APM tools enable developers to detect and resolve issues quickly, ensuring applications run smoothly and efficiently.

Infrastructure Monitoring involves tracking the performance, availability, and health of underlying hardware and software resources, such as servers, networks, databases, and cloud services. It ensures that all infrastructure components are functioning optimally, helping teams identify issues like resource bottlenecks, downtime, or capacity constraints before they impact applications or users.

Real User Monitoring (RUM) is a technique used to track and analyze the actual user experience on a website or application. It collects data on user interactions, page load times, and performance metrics from real users in real time. RUM helps identify performance bottlenecks, geographic-specific issues, and usability concerns, enabling teams to improve the overall user experience.

Synthetic Monitoring involves simulating user interactions with a website or application to monitor performance and availability. By running scripted tests from different locations and devices, it helps identify issues like downtime, slow response times, or broken functionalities before real users are impacted. Synthetic monitoring is proactive and complements real user monitoring by providing consistent, controlled insights.
