Dynatrace announced the launch of the Carbon Impact app to deliver real-time insights into the carbon footprint of an organization's Dynatrace-monitored hybrid and multicloud ecosystem and precise answers detailing how to reduce its environmental impact. The company developed Carbon Impact using the Dynatrace® AppEngine, a new Dynatrace® platform technology that empowers teams with an easy-to-use, low-code approach to deliver custom, compliant, and intelligent data-driven apps for boundless business, development, security, and operations use cases. Organizations are increasingly prioritizing sustainability as they work to meet environmental and regulatory requirements.

While cloud providers share carbon footprint data, this only covers individual SaaS services rather than complete hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. Additionally, these service-specific insights lack the details teams need to drive action – for example, which hosts, processes, or applications are driving consumption. These deficiencies make reporting and compliance challenging and limit organizations' ability to understand where and how to optimize their ecosystems to ensure minimal environmental impact. Dynatrace® Carbon Impact addresses these challenges by calculating, tracking, and reporting the carbon footprint of Dynatrace-monitored hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. The Dynatrace platform leverages Carbon Impact and its Smartscape® topology and dependency mapping to provide process- and app-level details for precise optimization insights.
