Monitor Your Users’ Experience in Real Time with New Relic
I wanted to take a moment to share some news that I think both Atlassian and Atlassian customers will be excited about. Today New Relic announced that we are adding real user monitoring to our existing app monitoring capability. This means that using New Relic, you can now look at real user requests in real time to get significant data about the user experience including page load times, time in request queue, how long a page takes to render, and Apdex score.
Continuous Deployment with Bamboo and Tomcat
Short feedback cycles should be a main goal for every development team. Ideally this feedback cycle is not only limited to automated tests, but to real life user feedback.

But this also means that deploying new versions of the applications has to be easy and automated.
