History
AppDynamics was founded in 2008 by Jyoti Bansal, a former lead software architect at Wily Technologies, a provider of application performance management technology.[2] AppDynamics received five rounds of funding totaling $206.5 Million.[3]
On April 10, 2013, CA Technologies (formerly Computer Associates) filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District in New York. The lawsuit claims that AppDynamics violated three patents that came into CA Technologies' possession through acquisitions.[4] This was the second action CA Technologies filed in connection with alleged infringement of patents obtained in the acquisition of Wily Technology.
