Tracelytics provides Java instrumentation to help businesses using better understand their application's performance, and steer future optimization efforts. We've been working with a handful of customers that are trying to solve complex issues with application speed and a Java stack, and learning a lot about what types of problems they frequently run into.

The specific application we're looking at is a message board (forum) that processes about 3600 requests per hour.
