Dynatrace Perform 2025 – AI, Observability, and the Move Toward Autonomous IT

What happens when the biggest names in enterprise tech gather in Vegas to talk AI, observability, and the future of digital operations?

In this first episode of Conversations from the Show Floor, I finally meet Dynatrace Chief Product Officer Steve in person at Dynatrace Perform. We’ve shared many conversations remotely over the years, but this time we’re on the ground, surrounded by the buzz of live demos, keynote announcements, and behind-the-scenes insights from some of the industry’s most forward-thinking leaders.

Steve walks us through the major announcements from Dynatrace Perform, including how AI and observability are converging to reduce alert fatigue, improve incident response, and enable more proactive IT strategies. He also shares how Dynatrace is evolving its AI offerings—from expanding AIOps capabilities to contextualizing security posture and workload observability for enterprise adoption.

We also reflect on the big shift from proof-of-concept to production when it comes to generative AI, and why runtime context is key for real business outcomes. You’ll hear about platform engineering, the evolution of enterprise architecture, and the importance of cross-functional collaboration when innovation is happening at speed.

So whether you're tuning in on your commute or catching up from a few time zones away, this conversation brings the energy of the show floor directly to your ears.
