Amazon CloudWatch RUM now supports Session Replay for Web Applications

Amazon CloudWatch RUM (Real User Monitoring) Session Replay gives developers a video-like playback of user experiences on their web applications — capturing clicks, scrolls, page changes, and errors — so they can see exactly what a user encountered in their browser without needing to reproduce the issue. CloudWatch RUM collects client-side performance metrics and error data from both web and mobile applications; Session Replay extends this visibility for web applications by letting developers visually diagnose issues like broken navigation flows or unresponsive UI elements that don't surface in server-side logs. This capability is built for front-end developers and application owners who need to move quickly from a user-reported problem to its root cause.

Session Replay helps developers identify user experience issues — such as forms that fail to render or navigation flows that break — that can silently impact conversion and engagement, even when no one reports them. Developers can also replay sessions to study navigation patterns and identify drop-off points. To get started, enable Session Replay in your app monitor and view recorded sessions from the Session Replay tab in the CloudWatch RUM console — the feature is opt-in, supports sensitive field masking, and is included at no additional cost.
