AWS App Runner is a purpose-built container application service that enables customers to build and run containerized web applications and APIs with no prior container or infrastructure experience required. Customers can simply provide their source code, container image, or deployment pipeline and AWS App Runner will build and deploy the application, automatically handling the load balancing, encryption, and scaling needed.

The Datadog integration with AWS App Runner allows customers to comprehensively monitor their applications managed by AWS App Runner to:

•  Identify errors: track the success rate of requests to detect issues in code leading to errors.
• Ensure adequate resourcing: get visibility into applications with under or over-provisioned compute and memory.
• Know when to scale up or down: understand application latency to set the right autoscaling rules.
• Ensure security: observe and analyze all AWS App Runner API activity.
