## AI overview

Apollo Engine introduces an integration that sends GraphQL API metrics to Datadog. The integration exports performance and error statistics, including request rates, error rates, cache hit rates, and latency histogram statistics, with GraphQL operation tags for filtering queries and mutations.

## Source excerpt

One of our core tenets on the Apollo team is that we want to enable you to use GraphQL in a way that works with your existing technology investments. It's much easier to convince your coworkers that the benefits of GraphQL are worth the effort if you can bring your favorite tools with you. There are tons of software-as-a-service platforms developers use every day to understand and manage their apps.
