In a perfect world, software developers write bug-free code, clients are happy with the user experience, and everyone gets along just fine.

The irony of web performance is that the average page weight of a site continues to go up year after year, despite us being more aware of the problem and having more tools at our disposal to fight it than ever. To paraphrase Seinfeld , "we know how to fight page weight issues; we just don't use the tools we have to fight page weight issues.".

It does so by analyzing the running processes, identifying which application each process supports, and subsequently mapping the processes to what we call a “process group” (one process group represents one application). It then automatically detects all microservices that are part of an application through a rich combination of domain knowledge and broad technology support.
