Integrate Recorded Future threat intelligence with Datadog Cloud SIEM

Recorded Future provides real-time threat intelligence about indicators of compromise (IOCs), including malicious IP addresses, domains, and vulnerabilities. It also adds context on threat actors and campaigns to help security teams understand which signals represent real risk and prioritize their responses accordingly.

Platform engineering metrics: What to measure and what to ignore

Platform engineering teams have access to hundreds of metrics, yet over 40% of platform initiatives cannot demonstrate measurable value within the first year. Teams that cannot quantify their impact fail to obtain executive sponsorship, risk being defunded, and ultimately, face deprecation. To accurately calculate a platform’s ROI, platform engineering teams need to differentiate between signals that measure platform effectiveness and those that should be used solely for investigative purposes.

Not all index scans are equal: How we cut query latency by over 99%

When engineers investigate SQL queries, they normally think of index scans as a fast and efficient step in the query’s execution plan. When executed correctly, they fetch only the relevant rows from your table as opposed to sequential scans that read the entire table, reducing latency and query costs. However, just because an execution plan uses an index scan doesn’t mean that the scan is fast or performant.

Here's what's covered: Check out Dashboards in your Sentry organization and let us know what you think!

Introducing OrionIQ: The End of Manual Observability

OrionIQ is Logz.io’s new agentic observability platform designed to move teams from detecting issues to resolving them automatically. As AI accelerates software development, operations remain manual: engineers still wake up at 2 a.m. to investigate alerts and rebuild context. OrionIQ uses AI agents to analyze real-time telemetry, investigate incidents, identify root causes, and take action across systems.

Setting Up AppSignal for a Node.js App Running on Kubernetes

Monitoring in Kubernetes can seem like opening an airplane's black box. Everything happens silently, behind the scenes, hidden away. This can be a lot of trouble, as you don’t really want to dig through a bunch of logs at 3 a.m. after a call letting you know that a certain feature is broken. You want something direct, concise, and helpful.
