Techniques for managing performance metrics associated with software applications

Abstract

Disclosed herein are techniques for providing comparative performance metrics to software application developers. One technique includes the steps of (1) obtaining respective performance metrics for a plurality of software applications; (2) receiving a request to display, for a particular software application of the plurality of software applications, percentile information associated with the respective performance metric; (3) generating percentile performance metrics based on at least some of the respective performance metrics; (4) identifying, based on the percentile performance metrics, a percentile range into which the respective performance metric; and (5) outputting a user interface that includes: (i) a first visual indication of the respective performance metric, and (ii) a second visual indication of the percentile range into which the respective performance metric falls, where the second visual indication obfuscates a point at which the respective performance metric falls within the percentile range.
