Introducing service-level alerts in Datadog APM

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) by Datadog helps improve application performance by tracking service interactions and providing detailed flame graphs for individual request traces. The new APM monitors notify users of changes in service-level indicators like latency and error rates, allowing them to identify issues, prioritize fixes, and optimize overall application performance. These monitors can be set up directly from the service dashboard or on the "Manage Monitors" page. When an APM monitor is triggered, users receive a notification with contextual information and links to investigate further. Datadog's integration with various technologies enables seamless investigation of issues across different components of the application stack.
