In this workshop, you will learn how to set up Datadog Synthetic and Real User Monitoring (RUM) on your applications. Synthetic Monitoring will provide a safety net for your teams by proactively ensuring that your main user flows and applications are continuously monitored for breaking changes. With RUM, you can analyze real user traffic to understand performance issues, track user behavior, and isolate the root cause of errors and issues. You’ll learn how to create a Synthetic browser test with our code-free web recorder, analyze the results within the Synthetic Monitoring UI, and then pivot to RUM to analyze the same context from Synthetic Monitoring alongside the frontend data collected from RUM’s Browser SDK.
