Run UDP and WebSocket API tests to monitor latency-critical applications

Datadog Synthetic Monitoring has expanded its API test suite to include UDP and WebSocket protocols, allowing users to proactively monitor real-time applications such as customer support chat platforms and video streaming services for availability and performance issues. The new tests enable the simulation of messages sent to UDP server ports and opening WebSocket connections, with results available from globally distributed managed locations or private internal networks. Datadog Synthetic CI/CD Testing allows users to execute these tests directly within their CI/CD pipelines for early detection and troubleshooting.
