Dynatrace's integration of synthetic monitoring with automatic release validation offers a comprehensive approach to enhancing software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes by providing continuous quality assurance across environments. Utilizing Davis ® AI, Dynatrace identifies root causes of issues early in the development cycle, thereby accelerating release cycles, reducing costs, and minimizing disruptions. This method enables DevOps and SRE teams to incorporate on-demand synthetic monitoring as a metrics provider, enhancing the efficiency of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines without requiring additional external tools. By simulating user journeys and API requests, Dynatrace offers a 360-degree view into application performance, ensuring adherence to service-level objectives (SLOs) and enabling seamless navigation between synthetic and real-user journeys. The platform facilitates monitoring configuration as code, allowing for better management alongside application source code, and offers powerful dashboards for system visualization. With capabilities like cloud automation, session replay, and integration with Real User Monitoring for various deployment strategies, Dynatrace enhances the speed and quality of software delivery while maintaining rigorous validation standards.
