Preemptive

Observability Analysis

Unlike traditional observability tools focused on alerting to problems in retrospect, Digma leverages a Preemptive Observability Analysis (POA) engine that identifies issues at the code level in pre-prod environments, allowing teams to prevent them earlier

POA Engine Preemptive Observability Analysis - Continuous over Manual

Continuous over Manual

The POA engine identifies issues automatically, as the developer works, and does not rely on manual processes

POA Engine Preemptive Observability Analysis - Issues over raw data

Insights over raw data

Raw observability takes too much effort to translate into something practical. An individual trace is not useful but analysis can reveal critical actionable insights

POA Engine Preemptive Observability Analysis - Focus on code not services

Focus on code

Traditional APMs focus on the infrastructure and APIs, whereas the POA engine focuses on code-level issues and patterns

The Preemptive Observability Analysis engine

The Digma Preemptive Observability Analysis (POA) engine introduces an advanced approach to observability by proactively identifying potential issues before they materialize in production.

It achieves this by analyzing observability tracing data, even when data volumes are low. Leveraging pattern matching and anomaly detection techniques, Digma’s algorithm extrapolates expected application performance metrics, enabling it to detect deviations or potential problems that have not yet impacted the application. In analyzing the tracing data, Digma pinpoints the issue to the specific responsible code and commits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most observability tools focus on monitoring production environments, meaning you only find out about issues after they impact users. Digma works at the code level in pre-production, inside your IDE, identifying issues before they appear in production. This means fewer rollbacks, less rework, and a smoother development process.

Yes! Digma detects which areas of the code and components are affected by each change or pull request, ensuring no one accidentally introduces breaking changes. This reduces the risk of regressions and disruptions, helping the team move faster with confidence.

Unlike traditional performance monitoring tools that require heavy instrumentation, Digma analyzes lightweight tracing data and identifies inefficient code patterns before they hit production. This means your team gets actionable insights on slow execution paths, scalability bottlenecks, and inefficient queries—without impacting development speed.

No. Digma runs locally and does not require code modifications, manual profiling, or additional observability setup. It’s OTEL-compliant, so it fits right into your existing observability stack without adding friction.

Getting started is easy—just install the Digma plugin, and it immediately starts analyzing your code in real-time. Want to learn more? Check out our documentation, blog, or Udemy course to see how Digma can fit into your team’s workflow.

Digma proactively identifies breaking changes, performance regressions, and scalability issues while your team is still developing. Instead of reacting to production incidents, your engineers can address problems earlier—saving debugging time, reducing deployment risks, and keeping the team focused on delivering features.
