How dedicated database monitoring protects customer experience and reduces operational risk

Nov 4, 2026 By Laurence Allen In Redgate
Many outages, slowdowns and failed transactions start in the database, often well before anyone outside the data team knows something’s wrong. By the time they do, customers are already affected: payments fail, services stall and people can’t do what they came to do. The organisations that keep this risk under control close three gaps.

Hybrid Cloud Architecture: Components, Models and How to Monitor It

Nov 4, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Why does an application that runs well in the data center slow down once one of its tiers moves to AWS or Azure? Often the servers are healthy and the cloud console shows no faults; the delay lives in the connection between them, where neither view reaches.

Compare AI agent changes with Online Experiments in Agent Observability

Nov 4, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Improving an AI agent often involves changing its prompts, models, retrieval methods, or tools. But determining whether those changes actually improve performance can be difficult.
