The business has been focusing on back-room infrastructure to now expand the platform to help all Amazon Web Applications (AWS) applications that are adding metrics to Amazon CloudWatch.
It sounds like Amazon CloudWatch is a platform that offers tracking and observability of AWS resources and applications in AWS and on-site environments. The company believes this is a good combination play i.e. by integrating Amazon CloudWatch metrics with data already collected by the Dynatrace platform, data engineers can get deeper, more complex and separated from each other
In practical terms, Dynatrace can automatically classify and collect metrics from Amazon CloudWatch’s 95 AWS services currently backed up.
Metrics from these and any other services that publish metrics to CloudWatch are automatically combined with the already processed Dynatrace platform distributed tracking, logging, user experience, and other observability data.
The end result (if you’re both a customer of Dynatrace and AWS) is that all CloudWatch metrics are automatically delivered to the dashboards. Plus you also gain automatic, self-adjusting baselining, immediate identification of anomalies and accurate root cause determination (prioritised by business effect, which is nice) across an entire AWS and hybrid / multi-cloud environment.
Dynatrace believes that this combination of CloudWatch metrics, additional observability data, automation and AI-powered support saves time and money for the application developer teams.
