AppDynamics, which specializes in application performance management (APM) solutions for high-maintenance Web apps, has raised $20 million in funding in a Series C round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Previous backers Greylock Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners also participated.

The company says more than 60,000 people have downloaded AppDynamics Lite, its free Java troubleshooting solution, to date.
