## Summary
Broadcom, which purchased CA Technologies, has CA Application Performance Management (CA APM).   CA APM identifies and resolves issues across physical, virtual, container-based, cloud, and mobile applications. It offers both SaaS and on-premises solutions that provide performance insight and the ability to automate feedback. It has the ability to manage performance with containers and microservices, with dynamic baselining and differential analysis capability.
      
GitLab has a powerful monitoring capability with Prometheus, a time-series monitoring service, providing a flexible platform for monitoring GitLab and other software products. GitLab provides out of the box monitoring with Prometheus, providing easy access to high quality time-series monitoring of GitLab services.  GitLab has built-in monitoring that can automatically monitor your deployed applications, with extensive support for native cloud, container, and microservices technology.  Additionally, Gitlab uses Jaeger, an open source end-to-end distributed tracing system used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems.
