AppEngine
Create and share custom apps that leverage insights from all your observability, security, and business data.
Powerful Apps built by you, run by us
Build and run apps in Dynatrace that let you address your own use cases with no overhead.
Secure cloud-scale analytics and automation to your data
AppEngine is a core technology in the Dynatrace platform, enabling you to create inherently secure, scalable and custom apps that leverage causal AI, data, and other core platform components. It’s a more productive and secure approach for teams to meet custom requirements without undermining an organization’s security posture. Custom apps empower teams with innovative means for secure collaboration and insight-sharing across domains, leading to better business results at an accelerated pace.

Bring logic to data
Optimize processes, connect data and organizational silos, and drive innovation at scale. AppEngine enables you to apply logic directly to your data. Custom apps have access to core Dynatrace platform components such as Smartscape, Davis AI, and AutomationEngine to address your specific use cases close to the data stored in Grail.
