Dynatrace, Inc. is a technology company that provides a software observability platform. Dynatrace technologies are used to monitor, analyze, and optimize application performance, software development and security practices, IT infrastructure, and user experience for businesses and government agencies throughout the world. [5] [6]

Contents

The Dynatrace observability platform uses a proprietary form of AI called Davis to discover, map, and monitor applications, microservices, container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, and IT infrastructure running in multicloud, hybrid-cloud, and hyperscale network environments. The platform also provides automated problem remediation [7] [8] [9] and IT carbon impact analysis. [10] [11] [12] The platform provides observability across the solution stack to manage the complexities of cloud native computing, and support digital transformation and cloud migration. [13]

Product

The Dynatrace unified observability and security platform uses AI to provide infrastructure monitoring, applications and microservices monitoring, application security, digital experience, business analytics, and cloud automation [14] capabilities. Dynatrace also provides the Dynatrace Hub, which publishes Dynatrace applications for specific observability use cases [15] and integrations with more than 620 technologies including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Docker, Java, and Prometheus. [16]

The Dynatrace platform consists of the following technologies:

Dynatrace provides multicloud observability to both SaaS and managed service deployment models, in partnership with service providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, among others. [27]

Open source contributions

Dynatrace invests in building DevOps and SRE automation [28] and contributes developments to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), including the contribution of Keptn, [29] [30] an open-source pluggable control plane for cloud-native application lifecycle orchestration. Dynatrace is a key contributor and investor in open-source community activities around observability and performance. [31] Examples include W3C Trace Context, of which Dynatrace is a founding member and co-chair; OpenTelemetry; and OpenFeature. [32] Other open-source technologies Dynatrace contributes to include MONACO, Barista, and Dynahist. [33]

The Dynatrace REST API can be used to retrieve or ingest data. [34]

History

Dynatrace was founded by Bernd Greifeneder, Sok-Kheng Taing and Hubert Gerstmayr on February 2, 2005 in Linz, Austria as dynaTrace Software GmbH, [35] and was acquired by Compuware in 2011. In 2014, the private equity firm Thoma Bravo took the company private, and the Compuware APM group was renamed Dynatrace. [36] [37] Dynatrace established the Digital Performance Management category in late 2014. [38]

On August 1, 2019, Dynatrace completed its initial public offering. [39]

In software engineering, more specifically in distributed computing, observability is the ability to collect data about programs' execution, modules' internal states, and the communication among components. To improve observability, software engineers use a wide range of logging and tracing techniques to gather telemetry information, and tools to analyze and use it. Observability is foundational to site reliability engineering, as it is the first step in triaging a service outage. One of the goals of observability is to minimize the amount of prior knowledge needed to debug an issue.
