Dynatrace becomes a launch partner for Google's Gemini, embedding advanced observability directly into the next generation of agentic AI for developers and enterprises.
Dynatrace and Google Cloud Forge New AI Frontier with Gemini Integration
BOSTON, MA – December 18, 2025 – In a significant move to shape the future of artificial intelligence in the enterprise, observability leader Dynatrace today announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud. The company has become a key launch partner for Google's groundbreaking agentic AI platforms, Gemini Enterprise and Gemini CLI extensions, deeply integrating its AI-powered observability capabilities into the next wave of autonomous systems.
The partnership aims to solve a critical challenge emerging from the AI revolution: as businesses deploy more sophisticated, autonomous AI agents to run complex operations, how do they monitor, manage, and ensure the reliability of these intelligent systems? Dynatrace and Google Cloud are betting the answer lies in fusing agentic AI with equally intelligent observability, creating a self-aware ecosystem that can detect, resolve, and even prevent issues in real time.
This collaboration places Dynatrace's technology at the core of Google's new AI strategy, providing developers and enterprises with the tools to build and operate resilient AI-driven applications. The integrations are now available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, designed to simplify adoption and accelerate innovation for businesses venturing into the new frontier of agentic AI.
The Developer's New AI Co-Pilot
For developers and DevOps teams on the front lines of innovation, the most immediate impact comes from the Dynatrace Gemini CLI Extension. This tool embeds observability and root-cause analysis directly into the command-line interface (CLI), the terminal environment where developers spend a significant portion of their day. Instead of switching between coding, testing, and a separate monitoring platform, engineers can now query performance data, debug applications, and identify bottlenecks without breaking their workflow.
This integration represents a powerful example of the "shift-left" movement in software development, where operational and quality assurance tasks are moved earlier into the development lifecycle. By giving developers immediate access to performance insights, the extension empowers them to build more reliable and optimized applications from the start. This proactive approach helps reduce friction between development and operations teams, accelerates troubleshooting, and ultimately shortens the path from code to production.
“Accelerating AI across the enterprise requires a visibility that connects developer innovation directly with operational resilience,” said Mitch Ashley, VP and Practice Lead at Futurum Research. “Dynatrace's Gemini CLI Extension, combined with Dynatrace's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) integration into Gemini Enterprise, removes friction and increases velocity for operations to keep the enterprise in the flow of utilizing agentic AI as a scalable core business driver.”
Powering the Autonomous Enterprise
Beyond the developer's desktop, the partnership tackles the larger strategic challenge of managing enterprise-scale AI. The integration with Gemini Enterprise, Google Cloud’s new agentic platform, is central to this effort. Unlike traditional AI models that primarily respond to prompts, agentic AI systems are designed for autonomy. They can understand goals, create plans, and execute multi-step tasks by interacting with other applications and data sources with minimal human oversight. As enterprises deploy these agents to automate everything from financial analysis to supply chain management, ensuring their operational integrity becomes paramount.
This is where Dynatrace’s integration via Google’s Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol becomes critical. It allows the AI agents within Gemini Enterprise to communicate directly and in real time with the Dynatrace observability platform. This connection enables a new level of operational awareness, where Dynatrace can monitor the behavior, performance, and interactions of the AI agents themselves. If an agent encounters an error, experiences a performance degradation, or causes an unintended downstream effect, Dynatrace can immediately detect it, perform a root-cause analysis, and provide the necessary insights for automated or human-led resolution.
This capability is crucial for building trust in autonomous systems. By providing a safety and performance net, Dynatrace's observability helps ensure that as AI takes on more critical business functions, it does so reliably and predictably, preventing costly failures and maintaining operational stability across complex, interconnected environments.
A Strategic Move in the AI Observability Arms Race
The collaboration marks a strategic maneuver by Dynatrace in the highly competitive observability market. As rivals like Datadog and New Relic also race to integrate AI into their platforms, Dynatrace is differentiating itself by focusing on providing observability for the next generation of AI systems. By securing a position as a launch partner with a Google-validated A2A and Gemini Enterprise-compatible agent, the company establishes a first-mover advantage in the nascent but rapidly growing field of agentic AI management.
This deep alignment with a hyperscaler's flagship AI offering signals to the market that Dynatrace's technology meets the stringent performance and reliability standards required to support enterprise-grade AI. It reinforces the company's focus on AI-powered automation and its ability to handle the complexity of modern, multi-cloud ecosystems.
“Our expanded partnership with Google Cloud reflects Dynatrace’s leadership position in observability and our commitment to shaping how AI transforms cloud operations,” stated Jay Snyder, SVP of Partners and Alliances at Dynatrace. “As a launch collaborator for both Gemini Enterprise and Gemini CLI extensions, we’re working with Google Cloud at the forefront of AI and observability innovation, helping customers build intelligent, reliable systems that adapt and optimize in real time.”
Streamlining Adoption Through the Cloud Marketplace
To ensure these advanced capabilities are accessible, Dynatrace's AI-driven integrations are available for procurement and deployment through the Google Cloud Marketplace. This strategic move is designed to significantly lower the barrier to entry for enterprises. Customers already committed to the Google Cloud platform can use their existing accounts and pre-committed spend to acquire Dynatrace's solutions, streamlining a procurement process that can often be complex and lengthy.
Availability on the Marketplace not only simplifies billing but also provides a level of trust, as solutions listed are vetted by Google for security and compatibility. For businesses eager to leverage agentic AI, this provides a secure and efficient path to deploying the essential observability tools needed to manage these new systems at scale. This channel ensures that as organizations adopt Google's latest AI innovations, the tools to ensure their operational success are readily available, fully integrated, and easy to deploy within their existing cloud environments.
