Next-Generation Application Performance Monitoring

Datadog’s Traces functionality is a next generation observability tool. It brings contextual information for high-volume services, and connects it to an individual request for analysis and troubleshooting.

Our biggest concern as our team grew was time to diagnose issues. APM’s been a real game changer for us in terms of troubleshooting.

Datadog APM provides end-to-end distributed tracing from frontend devices to databases—with no sampling. Distributed traces correlate seamlessly with metrics, logs, browser sessions, code profiles, synthetics, and network performance data, so you can understand service dependencies, reduce latency, eliminate errors, and give your users the best possible experience of your product.

End-to-end tracing, frontend to database

Follow requests from RUM sessions to services, serverless functions, and databases
Tie synthetic API and browser test failures to backend errors
View logs and traces in context with automatic trace_id injection
Connect distributed traces to infrastructure metrics, network calls, and live processes

Tracing without Limits™: No sampling, no blind spots

Ingest, search, and analyze 100% of traces live over the last 15 minutes
Retain errors and high latency traces automatically for 15 days
Control cost-visibility tradeoffs with custom Retention Filters
Generate custom metrics from all ingested spans to track trends and KPIs (join the beta)

Code-level visibility, instant root cause analysis

Inspect methods, classes, and threads for requests tied to Continuous Profiler
Break down slow requests by time spent in code on CPU, GC, lock contention, and I/O
Jump from high resource-consuming profiles to the worst offending traces

Effortless auto-instrumentation for any stack, anywhere

Track deploys, ship with confidence

Compare performance impacts of canary, blue-green, and shadow deploys
Pinpoint error and latency outliers with out-of-the-box service dashboards
Visualize service dependency changes due to deploys using the Service Map

Effortless auto-instrumentation for any stack, anywhere

Deploy APM in seconds on hosts, containers, serverless functions, and PaaS
Utilize hundreds of integrations with third-party frameworks or libraries for unparalleled visibility into Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go, or C++ applications
