Azure Container Apps is a serverless platform that facilitates the deployment of containerized applications and microservices without the need to manage underlying cloud infrastructure. It automatically scales based on demand through Kubernetes event-driven autoscaling (KEDA) and integrates with the Distributed Application Runtime (DAPR) for a comprehensive deployment toolset. The integration with Datadog provides deep visibility into container apps by allowing the monitoring of metrics such as traces, logs, HTTP requests, and resource usage. Users can leverage Datadog to troubleshoot issues, track traffic patterns, detect cold starts, and manage resource allocation to optimize performance and costs. This integration offers a unified monitoring platform that combines Azure metrics with other technological data, providing a holistic view of application performance and infrastructure. Datadog offers a free 14-day trial for users to explore its Azure Container Apps monitoring capabilities.
