Within the first 30 to 45 days, we were able to quickly identify the top five endpoints that had performance issues and reduce response times by 80 to 90%.

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.

ANATOLY MIKHAYLOV
STAFF PERFORMANCE ENGINEER, ZENDESK
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.

PAUL HINZE
DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE, HASHICORP
When debugging performance problems across billions of emails and push notifications, we need access to all live tracing data. Datadog's tracing tools have been invaluable for 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 blindspots
- 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
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

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
- Access flexible support for vendor-neutral standards such as OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing
