Introducing Elastic APM on Elasticsearch Service

Elastic has announced the general availability of its Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Server integrated with the Elasticsearch Service, offering enhanced application performance insights and visibility within distributed workloads. This integration supports various programming languages, including Java, Go, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript, and builds upon existing features of the Elasticsearch Service, such as automated anomaly detection using machine learning and efficient troubleshooting with alerting capabilities. The service includes a cost-effective hot-warm architecture with built-in index curation and centralizes logs, metrics, and APM data. Current Elasticsearch Service users can add APM Servers to deployments free of charge, with a 512 MB APM Server instance included in all new 6.6+ deployments as part of the free allowance, allowing users to instrument applications and manage numerous events per second. New users can experience the service through a 14-day free trial.
