Visualize live dependencies with the Request Flow Map

What's this blog post about?

The Request Flow Map is a new feature by Datadog that provides a live view of requests between services across an entire environment. It supports filtering by any tag and allows users to pivot seamlessly to service-level details, enabling quick identification of the root cause of performance issues. The map leverages application traces to construct a real-time view of service dependencies, making it easier to navigate complex environments. Users can also click on services for more granular details about their performance and pivot between monitors, runtime metrics, traces, and synthetic tests for deep context when troubleshooting.
