Monitor AWS App Mesh and Envoy with Datadog

Envoy is an open source proxy that simplifies microservices communication and routing data between them. It can be deployed as both an edge proxy and a service proxy. AWS App Mesh provides a managed control plane for Envoy proxies, dynamically configuring each one to coordinate the behavior of the data plane. By integrating Datadog with Envoy or AWS App Mesh, users can monitor the performance of their service mesh and view detailed metrics and request traces from all services in their infrastructure. This integration allows monitoring of service performance, Envoy activity, and application activity. Additionally, it enables tracing requests throughout the service mesh using Datadog APM & Distributed Tracing.
