What does Datadog's service map visualize?

Datadog's service map provides a visualization of the relationships between different services within an application architecture. This tool helps teams understand how various components interact with each other, displaying the flow of data and dependencies between services. By visualizing these relationships, users can identify potential bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues more effectively, and gain insights into the overall health of their applications. The service map effectively illustrates the complex interdependencies in microservices architectures, allowing for quicker diagnosis of problems and improved performance monitoring.
