What's this blog post about?

Change Overlays is a feature introduced by Datadog that helps visualize deployments tracked via APM and RUM within any graphs on your Datadog dashboards, making it easier to determine the impact of specific changes on system health and performance. By using version tags on APM services and RUM events, Change Overlays automatically identifies deployments and places them in context with your metrics. This feature simplifies troubleshooting by enabling users to quickly identify faulty deployments and revert them, minimizing their end-user impact. Additionally, it provides enhanced context for tracking metrics and monitoring the impact of deployments at a glance. Change Overlays is now available in open beta.
