Apache Spark at Scale #datadog #shorts #security #observability

Datadog is an observability and security platform that ingests and processes tens of trillions of data points per day, coming from more than 22,000 customers. Processing that amount of data in a reasonable time stretches the limits of well known data engines like Apache Spark. In addition to scale, Datadog infrastructure is multi-cloud on Kubernetes and the data engineering platform is used by different engineering teams, so having a good set of abstractions to make running Spark jobs easier is critical.
