Display real user latency (RUM) on our status pages.
In the Datadog ecosystem, this data is collected via Real User Monitoring (RUM), not through synthetic tests.
The difference is critical for us. Synthetic tests measure your system's baseline performance from a controlled environment, while RUM reflects the actual performance our customers are experiencing across a wide variety of networks, devices, and geographic locations. For the sake of transparency with our clients, displaying this real-world data is important for us.
