Enable end-to-end visibility into your Java apps with a single command

Achieving end-to-end observability in applications is a significant challenge due to the need for coordinated frontend and backend monitoring, which often requires collaboration between different teams. Datadog addresses this issue by enabling seamless integration of Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Application Performance Monitoring (APM) for Java applications with a single command, eliminating the need for frontend code changes. This integration automatically instruments Java applications using Datadog's single-step instrumentation (SSI) mechanism, which loads the necessary SDKs and RUM JavaScript snippet into the application processes. By capturing both frontend user session data and backend service traces, Datadog correlates these insights to provide a comprehensive view of application performance, enabling faster troubleshooting and root cause identification. This unified approach enhances the efficiency of DevOps and SRE teams by reducing the complexity and friction typically associated with achieving full observability, ultimately improving the ability to address issues affecting user experiences.
