Which programming environments are supported by Dynatrace for analyzing memory dumps?

Dynatrace supports analyzing memory dumps specifically for Java, .NET, and Node.js environments. This is primarily because these platforms rely heavily on managed runtime environments where Dynatrace can effectively monitor and analyze application performance, memory usage, and potential memory leaks.

Java applications, for instance, run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which allows Dynatrace to provide in-depth insights into memory management, garbage collection, and memory allocation patterns. Similarly, .NET applications utilize the Common Language Runtime (CLR), giving Dynatrace the ability to track and analyze memory usage within .NET framework applications. Node.js, being single-threaded and asynchronous, also faces challenges with memory management, making its analysis crucial for performance optimization in server-side JavaScript applications.

While other programming environments like Python, Ruby, PHP, C++, C#, Go, JavaScript, Swift, and Kotlin are widely used, they are either not officially supported by Dynatrace for memory dump analysis or do not provide the same level of detail as the primary supported environments. Thus, option B reflects the correct choice as it encompasses the programming environments where Dynatrace's capabilities in analyzing memory dumps are most effective and reliable.
