Unify APM and RUM data for full-stack visibility

Full-stack visibility is crucial for efficient troubleshooting and incident resolution in applications. Datadog's Real User Monitoring (RUM) provides real-time insights into user experiences, while distributed tracing offers visibility into individual request lifespans and key performance metrics. By connecting RUM data with corresponding traces, users can gain unified, end-to-end visibility across their stack. This rich context helps locate backend problems resulting in user-facing errors or identify the scope of affected users due to an issue within the application stack. Datadog's integration between RUM and APM allows for seamless pivoting from frontend data to view backend traces, enabling faster identification and resolution of root causes. Additionally, RUM provides deep context around incidents by analyzing who was affected and how widespread the impact was. With full-stack visibility, users can easily trace browser timeouts to database operations or link API failures to web component errors within a single pane of glass.
