Introducing the Service Map in Datadog

The Datadog Service Map is a tool that visualizes an application's topology by decomposing it into its component services and drawing observed dependencies between these services in real time. This helps identify bottlenecks, understand data flow through the architecture, and isolate service affinity and dependencies at scale. By automatically capturing interdependencies of hundreds or thousands of services, Datadog Service Map enables users to focus on a single service, trace calls across distributed services and hosts, and investigate individual traces from that service. It also integrates data from APM, infrastructure monitoring, and log management for quick remediation of performance issues.
