Datadog extension for Visual Studio

Overview

The Datadog extension for Visual Studio helps you to improve software performance by providing meaningful code-level insights in the IDE based on real-time observability data. Together with the Continuous Profiler, the plugin helps you to reduce latency and lower cloud costs by highlighting code lines that:

• Consume the most CPU
• Allocate the most memory
• Spend the most time on locks, disk I/O, socket I/O, and more

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022 (version 17 or later)
• Datadog account. Don't have an account? sign up for a free trial
• To display code-level insights, the plugin requires Continuous Profiling instrumented on your .NET services. For more information, see Getting started with Continuous Profiler
