Announcing APM & distributed tracing for Java applications

Datadog has expanded its Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and distributed tracing support to include Java in addition to Ruby, Python, and Go applications. The new features allow for end-to-end monitoring of Java applications, including automatic tracing for web servers like Tomcat and Jetty, frameworks such as Spring Boot and Dropwizard, and data stores like MongoDB and Cassandra. Datadog APM also provides detailed performance overviews, automated alerts, and the ability to create custom dashboards that combine metrics from every layer of the stack. The integration with Java is easy to set up and includes built-in support for OpenTracing, a vendor-neutral standard for distributed tracing.
