Dynatrace is an observability platform to analyze, automate, and innovate with the power of AI. The Dynatrace platform approach helps to solve a multitude of use case areas. Our solutions in observability, security, analytics, and automation address the broadest range of use cases. And because our platform powers it all, you can create any unique use case, customized to ever-changing needs.
You can explore Dynatrace in our public sandbox environment, interacting with sample data without installing software. Dynatrace playground offers possibility of exploring common use cases, learning opportunities including Developer Resources.
Some time ago we sneak peak in the Developers at Perform 2026 article that what was available to the participants during the Perform 2026 onsite only will be available for everyone on the Dynatrace playground soon. So here it is!
🔥 New Dynatrace App: Total Service Meltdown
What really happens when services, dependencies, and signals spiral out of control? Total Service Meltdown turns real-world platform complexity into a fast, fun, and surprisingly familiar experience—right inside Dynatrace.
This interactive game challenges you to spot issues, understand cascading failures, and react before the entire system melts down. It’s a playful way to sharpen platform thinking, highlight the importance of observability, and remind us why clarity across services matters.
Whether you’re an engineer, architect, or just curious how quickly issues can be resolved, Total Service Meltdown proves that learning Dynatrace can be both insightful and fun. 😃
Go to the Total Service Meltdown (bottom of the Playground landing page), select "Play the game" button,
choose your challenge,
and... be a hero!
After all don't hesitate to visit Leaderboard tab to check if you are in the top 10! 😉
PS: As constant improvement is our goal happy to hear your feedback after all. And if any ideas for a new challenge appear just leave them in a form or drop us a line: janne.saikko@dynatrace.com, agata.wlodarczyk@dynatrace.com.
