Ruxit is an application performance management tool that's focused on the operations side. It features what Dynatrace describes as artificial intelligence for analysis and alerting; for example, it can detect if an application is using too many database calls. Alois Reitbauer, Dynatrace’s chief technical strategist for Ruxit, says that it targets “cloud native” apps, which he defines as apps that are developed based on the principles of the cloud from the ground up, using such technologies as Amazon Web Services and microservices.

“Devops obviously is all about collaboration across all of the different departments,” Reitbauer says. “And once you really adopt a devops mentality, you need an easy way to communicate.” Various stakeholders in the application development process can communicate via Ruxit, and the tool offers automated analysis and built-in expert knowledge. It is being converged with Dynatrace’s Application Monitoring tool.
