Methods, systems, and computer readable media for detecting network service anomalies. An example method includes, during a learning phase, detecting a client initiating a first network interaction with an application and recording a start time for the first network interaction with the application; determining that the first network interaction with the application has ceased and recording an end time for the first network interaction; and determining, based on the start time and the end time, an application interaction rate for the first network interaction with the application. The method includes, during a detection phase, detecting the client initiating a second network interaction with the application; determining a second application interaction rate for the second network interaction; and determining that a network service anomaly occurred during the second network interaction based on the first application interaction rate and the second application interaction rate.
