What is Dropincc.java?

dropincc.java is an open-source Java agent developed by Datadog for production profiling of Java applications. It enables method-level visibility into the performance of Java apps with minimal overhead or code changes required.

Key features of dropincc.java include:

• Lightweight production profiling agent with ~3% performance overhead
• Method-level insights including runtime, CPU time, I/O, errors
• Built-in distributed tracing support
• JMX metrics for memory, threads, classes, garbage collection
• Support for Spring Boot, Quarkus, and Play apps
• Simple installation by adding javaagent flag to JVM startup
• Data visualization in Datadog dashboard out of the box
• Open-source software released under Apache License 2.0

By instrumenting the Java bytecode at runtime, dropincc enables dev and ops teams to identify performance issues and inefficient resource usage without restarting applications or modifying existing code. The dashboards, logs, and traces provided make it easier for teams to optimize Java application performance.
