Modern Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

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.

Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides end-to-end distributed tracing from frontend devices to databases—with no sampling. By seamlessly correlating distributed traces with frontend and backend data, Datadog APM enables you to monitor service dependencies, reduce latency, and eliminate errors so that your users get the best possible experience.

End-to-end application performance monitoring

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

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

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
Enhance application performance monitoring with regression detection after code deploys

Code level monitoring for every application service and individual request

Track deploys, ship with confidence
