Dynatrace, in partnership with Microsoft, announced a new integration that provides full application data transparency into applications deployed on Azure Spring Cloud.

Azure Spring Cloud makes it easy to deploy Spring Boot-based microservice applications to Azure with zero code changes. Azure Spring Cloud manages your application infrastructure so that you can focus on application code and business logic. While Azure Spring Cloud excels at removing much of the labor associated with managing containerized workloads, the challenge of monitoring and maintaining the performance and health of these applications, or of troubleshooting issues when they occur, can be daunting—especially as organizations deploy these applications at massive scale.

Dynatrace removes the complexity of dynamic microservice workloads by providing automatic and intelligent observability, without requiring any code changes. This all happens out-of-the-box with the Dynatrace OneAgent, which automatically discovers and maps all applications, microservices, and infrastructure as well as any dependencies in dynamic, hybrid, and multicloud environments, without configuration or scripting, and without having to know which apps or cloud platforms are running. This provides end-to-end visibility into the running of the application, saving time spent manually identifying any anomalies and allowing teams to get to the root cause of code-level issues quicker. This means full transparency into application data and more time to focus on developing feature-rich applications for your end-users.

The Azure Spring Cloud and Dynatrace integration brings freedom to application developers, allowing them to manage instances by abstracting the underlying infrastructure. With Dynatrace ingesting metrics for Azure Spring Cloud, teams can see metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts they can pin to their dashboards. By automatically delivering metrics for each instance, the Dynatrace Platform enables developers to focus where their effort matters most, on innovation.

“At Microsoft, we are committed to helping our customers modernize their applications and innovate faster than ever before,” Julia Liuson, Corporate VP, Developer Division, Microsoft. “By integrating a software intelligence solution like Dynatrace with Azure Spring Cloud, we can enable our customers with easy implementation of end-to-end observability, including automatic and continuous root-cause analysis, for their Spring Boot applications.”

“The ability to scale is critical for today’s digital business, as organizations have made the shift to cloud-native workloads and microservices,” said Eric Horsman, Global Director of Strategic Alliances at Dynatrace. “While cloud-native technologies and microservices have tremendous advantages, dynamic environments bring complexity that makes it difficult to understand the relationships and dependencies across an organization’s hybrid, multicloud ecosystem. Through the Dynatrace integration with Azure Spring Cloud, we are enabling full visibility into Spring Boot applications, which means more time innovating and a better product for end-users.”
