Monitor code deployments with Deployment Tracking in Datadog APM

What's this blog post about?

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines have become essential in modern software development. However, they also introduce new challenges such as bad code deploys leading to downtime and loss of revenue. Datadog's Deployment Tracking feature helps teams overcome these issues by using a unified tag that aggregates performance data based on the code version's infrastructure assets, traces, trace metrics, profiles, and logs. This enables developers to compare the performance of new code with existing live code, quickly identify problems in services and endpoints, and roll back releases if necessary. Deployment Tracking is compatible with various deployment strategies like canary deployments, blue/green deployments, and shadow deployments. It extends Datadog's APM capabilities and provides visibility into the entire application development lifecycle.
