Datadog Releases Capabilities to Correlate User Sessions with Backend Application Traces

▤ Summary

This makes connecting user experience data from browsers and mobile applications with backend traces, metrics, and logs a complex and tedious task. These manual correlation efforts slow down on-call engineering teams when trying to remediate issues, as they struggle to pinpoint which part of the application stack is responsible for revenue impacting incidents. Datadog’s automatic two-way correlation for frontend user sessions in RUM and backend traces in APM eliminates these blind spots, allowing on-call teams to quickly identify root causes and thus maintain robust user-experience on browser and mobile applications. “By automatically connecting user journeys that start on the frontend with requests made to backend services, Datadog enables organizations to significantly reduce MTTD and MTTR for incidents.” "Our DevOps and SRE teams use the Datadog RUM to APM connection to visualize the full user journey and pinpoint the exact source of an errant or slow customer request within their stack," said Ronni Persson, Engineering Manager, Web Platform Team, SeatGeek. Datadog’s new APM and RUM capabilities automatically correlate critical application performance data, providing teams with: • Full-Stack Correlation: connecting every user request to all backend services to cut down MTTD and MTTR with a unified view across the application stack • Frontend/Backend Comparison: comparing frontend and backend durations on every request, enabling engineering teams to identify and optimize slow user experiences • Trace Search and Analytics by User Journey Tags: slicing and dicing backend traces by location, device, operating system, and more to provide context for impacted customers For more information on end-to-end monitoring, please visit: www.datadoghq.com/blog/unify-apm-rum-datadog Datadog is the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications.
