Rapidly resolve production code issues without reproduction

  • Never miss production issues originating from your code by continuously profiling every line across all hosts and containers
  • Enable engineers of all levels to swiftly spot and resolve problems using Watchdog AI's insights and suggested fixes
  • Pinpoint methods and code lines that are inefficient under production load, despite having performed well in pre-production environments

Reduce latency with code and thread level visibility into traces

  • Find the root cause of slow requests by correlating spans with profiling data
  • Gain thread-level visibility into your requests to investigate parallelization, deadlocks, inefficient garbage collection, locks, and more.
  • Determine exactly what your slow methods are spending time on — CPU, locks, I/O, garbage collection, and more

Track every deploy and eliminate performance regressions

  • Create custom dashboards to effectively track and analyze long-term, code-level metrics and detect performance variations in production
  • Compare code behavior and impact across hosts, versions, and time-ranges during canary, blue/green, or shadow deploys
  • Isolate the most inefficient functions to quickly troubleshoot faulty deployments and decide whether to roll back or ship a fix

Lower cloud cost with code optimizations and downsizing recommendations

  • Track CPU and memory consumption per service to understand its impact on your cloud provider's bill, and compare changes over time
  • Identify your most expensive lines of code per endpoint across all your services with profiling aggregation data
  • Lower your cloud bill using Profiler-powered downsizing recommendations and performance impact forecasts in Datadog Cloud Cost Management
