Technological advances and emerging networking concepts are constantly shaping our IT infrastructure. Networks are no longer limited to traditional networking constraints such as its static nature, but are continually evolving to improve efficiency by spanning across wired, wireless, virtual, and hybrid IT environments.

When developing large, customer-facing applications, it’s paramount to have visibility into real user behavior in order to optimize your UX. Without a direct view into what users are actually doing when navigating your app, it can be difficult to reproduce bugs and understand how aspects of your frontend design are causing user frustration and churn. With Datadog RUM’s Session Replay feature, currently available in beta, you can watch individual user sessions using a video-like interface.
