Abstract
An application programming interface may receive workload identifiers and checkpoint identifiers from which bottleneck detection may be performed. Workloads may be tracked through various checkpoints in an application and timestamps collected at each checkpoint. From these data, bottlenecks may be identified in real time or by analyzing the data in a subsequent analysis. The workloads may be processed by multiple devices which may comprise a large application. In some cases, the workloads may be processed by different devices in sequence or in a serial fashion, while in other cases workloads may be processed in parallel by different devices. The application programming interface may be part of a bottleneck detection service which may be sold on a pay-per-use model, a subscription model, or some other payment scheme.
