What is Digital Experience Monitoring?

Real-user and synthetic data on frontend perf, errors, vitals — across devices, networks, regions. Bridges local dev to production reality.

Does Digital Experience Monitoring replace backend observability?

No — it correlates with it. Frontend blind spots like JS errors don't hit logs; DEM fills the gap for full-stack debugging.

How does DEM speed up dev workflows?

Baselines experience pre-release, validates rollouts live, prioritizes prod fixes by user impact — cuts guesswork, halves MTTR.
