Innovation announcements launched during Perform include:
Dynatrace debuts Dynatrace Intelligence
Fusing deterministic and agentic AI for reliable outcomes, Dynatrace Intelligence represents the next phase in the evolution of the Dynatrace platform.
Dynatrace Intelligence combines deterministic intelligence grounded in real-time causal context, with agentic AI that can safely reason, decide, and act within defined guardrails. Data is stored and unified in Grail™, and continuously and automatically enriched by Smartscape’s causal topology, fuelling deterministic AI to produce trustworthy, explainable insights.
Dynatrace Intelligence Agents turn action into insight
Built on the industry’s first agentic operations system, Dynatrace Intelligence, Dynatrace Intelligence Agents transform answers to outcomes by taking action across workflows with speed, precision, and governance. These agents have been designed to drive closed-loop autonomous outcomes across IT and business operations.
Dynatrace Intelligence Agents introduce an intuitive model for agentic operations, with customers able to use specialized agents that work together across responsibilities and domains.
Expanded cloud operations capabilities unveiled
New cloud-native integrations from Dynatrace, will give enterprises a clearer, unified view across multi-cloud environments thanks to expanded cloud-native integrations across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The capabilities will bring visibility into one place, helping teams find and fix issues faster and reduce disruption for end users. Powered by the uniqueness of Grail™, an industry-leading data lakehouse, Smartscape real-time dependency graph, and Dynatrace Intelligence, this combination will apply AI to help organizations understand, automate, and operate through this growing complexity.
Enhanced developer experiences launched
Dynatrace also unveiled new capabilities to transform observability into an active system of control for cloud and AI-native software delivery. With these enhancements, enterprises can evolve observability into a dynamic driver of developer productivity, moving beyond insight alone to an intelligent system that actively guides, optimizes, and protects software delivery in real time.
The innovations announced unify frontend, backend, AI telemetry, database, cloud, and mobile into a single developer-facing experience built on Grail™, Smartscape, and Dynatrace Intelligence. This production-first, AI-native foundation – built for agentic and LLM-driven applications – enables both humans and AI agents to reason about live system behavior, safely experiment in production, and take immediate, targeted action when risk is detected, without redeployments or manual intervention.
Cross-industry Customer Success Spotlighted
Dynatrace spotlighted customers showcasing how they are fuelling business growth with Dynatrace AI Observability.
With the Dynatrace platform as the control plane for AI in production, enterprises have the visibility and governance they need as they adopt agentic AI at scale. This evolution is helping customers manage complexity, ensure compliance, and optimize performance across emerging technologies, with various use cases explored that included Canadian telecoms giant, TELUS.
Advanced Real User Monitoring availability
Dynatrace also announced the launch of next-generation Real User Monitoring (RUM) capabilities, combining front-end telemetry with back-end context, to empower teams to better understand and optimize user experience.
As organizations move toward dynamic, cloud-native ecosystems and build AI-driven applications powered by large language models (LLMs) and other advanced AI services, traditional RUM tools are hitting limitations. Powered by Grail™, Smartscape, and advanced AI, users of Dynatrace can now analyze frontend data alongside logs, metrics, traces, and business events, all within a single platform, enabling precise, end-to-end visibility, faster troubleshooting, and smarter decision-making.

Today's modern systems are not what they once were. Organizations now rely on distributed systems, event-driven workflows, hybrid and multi-cloud environments and continuous delivery pipelines. While each adds flexibility, it also introduces new, often invisible failures. Development speed is no longer the primary bottleneck of innovation. Reliability is ...
Seeing is believing, or in this case, seeing is understanding, according to New Relic's 2025 Observability Forecast for Retail and eCommerce report. Retailers who want to provide exceptional customer experiences while improving IT operations efficiency are leaning on observability ... Here are five key takeaways from the report ...
Technology leaders across the federal landscape are facing, and will continue to face, an uphill battle when it comes to fortifying their digital environments against hostile and persistent threat actors. On one hand, they are being asked to push digital transformation ... On the other hand, they are facing the fiscal uncertainty of continuing resolutions (CR) and government shutdowns looming near and far. In the face of these challenges, CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs must figure out how to modernize legacy systems and infrastructure while doing more with less and still defending against external and internal threats ...
Reliability is no longer proven by uptime alone, according to the The SRE Report 2026 from LogicMonitor. In the AI era, it is experienced through speed, consistency, and user trust, and increasingly judged by business impact. As digital services grow more complex and AI systems move into production, traditional monitoring approaches are struggling to keep pace, increasing the need for AI-first observability that spans applications, infrastructure, and the Internet ...
If AI is the engine of a modern organization, then data engineering is the road system beneath it. You can build the most powerful engine in the world, but without paved roads, traffic signals, and bridges that can support its weight, it will stall. In many enterprises, the engine is ready. The roads are not ...
In the world of digital-first business, there is no tolerance for service outages. Businesses know that outages are the quickest way to lose money and customers. For smaller organizations, unplanned downtime could even force the business to close ... A new study from PagerDuty, The State of AI-First Operations, reveals that companies actively incorporating AI into operations now view operational resilience as a growth driver rather than a cost center. But how are they achieving it? ...
In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
