An application is in my understanding composed of multiple services.
Those can be micro services calling other micro services, external
providers
or things just like a database. Some may be provided by multiple micro
services
running (or being deployed) in parallel on several machines.

I don't think the concept of an application in the BTM world is much
different
from what we always said.
A user first wants to know "is my application doing all right?". And if
not,
she wants to zoom in to figure out where bottlenecks are.
The other direction is true as well: the user sees a machine clamped at
100%
cpu and wants to see what is creating the load, which service and
ultimately
which application (and if only for billing purposes).
I think we need to build up a list of use cases that we wish to support with the
integration of MiQ and BTM.
But as outlined in your scenarios, it will be important to have a common concept of
services and resources across the two. At the moment BTM only understands activities
triggered at endpoints, so this needs to be linked to these static notions of service and
resource (e.g. database).
