2025 flew by in a blur of questions answered, ideas shared, and connections made. We’re glad it was a great year for so many of you, too!
To us, the first half of January is all about celebrating Community Manager Day. As always, we hit pause for a moment to reflect on what made the past year so special, wrapped in a beautiful visual design (kudos to Michał!).
Community Team
2025 was a year of reunion! After their maternity leaves, both Ana (@Ana_Kuzmenchuk) and Iza (@IzabelaRokita) returned to the team, bringing fresh energy and renewed strength. It’s been amazing to work together again!
As true Dynatracers, each of us continued to grow and sharpen our skills to make the Community even better: Iza explored the world of AI, Maciek (@MaciejNeumann) developed DQL forum, Ana focused on communication and process improvements, Michał (@Michal_Gebacki) actively participated in the Community conference, and Gosia (@GosiaMurawska) strengthened her knowledge in Project Management and Customer Experience. A special shout-out goes to Agata (@AgataWlodarczyk), who became a Dynatrace Evangelist this year! 🎉

Platform & Experience
2025 brought exciting improvements to make your Community experience even better:
- Navigation refresh - We introduced a new navigation system designed to help you find what you need faster and more intuitively.
- New forum launch - We rolled out a brand-new Product News subforum! All the topics covering Dynatrace product updates and Developer Newsletters are posted there. Don’t miss it!
- Updated guidelines - We updated our self-onboarding space for new users. It’s now more descriptive, user-oriented, and packed with fresh widgets!
- New badges - We reviewed and improved our engagement system, introducing a set of new badges. Thanks to our first CMAD challenge, you have a chance to contribute and design new badges for the entire Community.
All these changes were designed with YOU in our minds, as we always prioritize to making the Community a user-friendly and intuitive environment!
Content
Of course, you are the main creators of content every single day, and we are incredibly grateful for that! ❤️ We would like to highlight some special pieces:
- Helpful FAQs - We have been collaborating with Dynatrace Product Managers and published several FAQs to assist users with new apps and features, gathering useful resources in one thread for easier onboarding.
- Creative contributions - Our members shared amazing content, including the festive “Living” Christmas Tree Dashboard and Valentine’s Day hands-on: Heartbeat failed. Huge kudos to @AntonioSousa and @Tiit_Hallas!
Community in numbers
These numbers reflect your engagement and contributions: every question answered, every idea shared, and all the new faces who logged in. They also represent those who prefer to stay in read-only mode, and that’s perfectly fine too! Whether you’re posting or just exploring, you’re an essential part of Dynatrace Community.
Thank you for making 2025 another incredible year for our Community. We're always more than happy to assist you but it is you who make this space special. And please, keep doing so! 😉
See you next year for CMAD 2027!
Yours,
Community Team
