Dynatrace offers four practical integration techniques: OpenTelemetry instrumentation for real-time metrics/traces/logs, Dynatrace Workflows for automated metric retrieval without pipeline changes, custom extensions for API-based metric ingestion, and SDLC Events pushed directly to Dynatrace via API or extracted from pipeline logs using OpenPipeline. Each approach works with common CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and ArgoCD, providing end-to-end visibility from commit to deployment. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
