As the number of cloud-native applications running across increasingly complex infrastructure soars, maintaining application resilience becomes a critical challenge. IBM aims to address this with Concert Resilience Posture, an AI-powered platform designed to streamline and simplify application resilience management.

Concert unifies the disparate tools and dashboards currently used to monitor application health, providing a single pane of glass for assessing, managing, and configuring resilience across the entire stack. According to Jennifer Fitzgerald, Product Management Director, Observability, at IBM, Concert helps organizations connect various metrics to desired business outcomes, enabling them to answer key questions related to scalability, code change impact, resource allocation, data governance, and customer experience.

Central to Concert is a resilience score calculated from multiple metrics across eight non-functional requirements (NFRs): Observability, Availability, Maintainability, Recoverability, Scalability, Usability, Integrity, and Security. This allows organizations to proactively identify and resolve potential problems before they affect application performance. The AI-driven continuous assessment capabilities enable teams to understand load changes, optimize resource allocation, and achieve cost savings. With Concert, companies can confidently scale and iterate applications while understanding the downstream impact of changes and proactively manage resilience across the entire application portfolio.
