Build custom apps on your Dynatrace data

AppEngine lets teams create and share intelligent, data-driven apps inside Dynatrace, with built-in AI, security, and scalability already taken care of.

Every team has custom data needs. Most solutions require moving data outside the platform.

Building custom tools usually means managing your own infrastructure, moving sensitive data elsewhere, and creating security risks. AppEngine keeps everything inside Dynatrace, so you get custom experiences without the overhead or the exposure.

  • Your data, your apps, one platform

    Access all your observability, security, and business data from any app you build, without moving it anywhere.

  • AI and automation built in

    Every app you build can leverage Dynatrace Intelligence, causal AI, and AutomationEngine out of the box.

  • Secure and governed by default

    Sandboxed runtime, app signing, and built-in governance mean custom apps never undermine your security posture.

How it works

Secure cloud-scale analytics and automation to your data

AppEngine is a core technology in the Dynatrace platform, giving you a secure, scalable foundation to build custom apps that leverage causal AI and all your platform data, without undermining your security posture or managing any infrastructure yourself.

Powerful apps built by you, run by us

Build and run apps in Dynatrace that address your own use cases, with no infrastructure to provision or maintain.

Developer experience

Build faster with TypeScript, React, and a full developer toolkit

Dynatrace Developer gives you everything you need to create, test, and deploy apps quickly, including a VS Code extension, pre-built React components, design tokens, and step-by-step tooling from build to production. Focus on solving the problem, not managing the environment.

Security and compliance

Custom apps that stay inside your security boundaries

AppEngine runs apps in a sandboxed, isolated environment, so logic and data stay within established boundaries at all times. App signing guarantees integrity and authenticity, and built-in governance ensures apps operate within defined scope and user context.

Extensibility

If the app you need does not exist yet, build it

If there is not already an app for your use case on the Dynatrace Hub, build it yourself or work with a partner. Create powerful custom UIs, visualizations, and workflow integrations on top of your unified data, and publish to the Hub for your whole organization.

Thanks to AppEngine and the openness of the Dynatrace platform, we have been able to work with Spica to implement a custom CMDB app. Running this app directly on top of Dynatrace reduces tool sprawl and costs, while providing a single source of truth for all configuration items in our environment that is always up to date.
