Well-designed service level objectives (SLOs) help you track the benchmarks your app needs to meet to deliver a successful user experience (UX). To track performance against these SLOs, many SRE teams are turning to real user monitoring (RUM) and synthetic monitoring for their service level indicators (SLIs), as these forms of data provide more direct measurements of UX than backend performance metrics.

Today, we’re introducing Scout 1.0, Datadog’s first AI model specialized for investigating production issues. Scout powers Bits Investigation, our AI SRE. We trained Scout to reduce inference cost so that investigations are cheap enough to run an order of magnitude more often and earlier in an incident’s lifecycle. Key highlights include: Close dialog.

Frontend and mobile applications depend on technical steps that users expect to work in every user journey: loading search results, signing in, saving a payment method, or processing a payment. Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) captures detailed events about these interactions, including views, actions, resources, and errors. But examining those events individually does not always provide a direct answer to more fundamental questions: Did a critical application step work, and how long did it take?

Organizations are spending more on GPUs as they move AI workloads into production, and improving GPU utilization is a key priority. But Kubernetes’s legacy device plugin model can limit those improvements because it constrains how workloads request and consume GPU resources. Teams must configure GPU partitioning before workloads are scheduled. Resource requests cannot distinguish GPUs by capability, and a workload can reserve an entire GPU while using only part of its capacity.

Datadog runs thousands of internal services and has been increasing global footprint year after year. For most of that growth, we treated services uniformly when making deployment and reliability decisions. At our current scale, that approach became expensive. A change destined for production rolls out to data centers sequentially, so deployment time grows with every data center we add.

Organizations may need to keep data in specific regions or infrastructure they control, whether because of data residency requirements, internal policies, or transfer costs. Datadog Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) extends the Datadog platform into those environments. Each BYOC deployment runs as a Kubernetes cluster with its own object storage, keeping data close to its source.

Adding or renaming a product event has traditionally meant creating an engineering ticket. Datadog Product Analytics uses the same SDKs and configuration as Real User Monitoring (RUM), and those SDKs autocapture actions such as clicks and taps. But an automatically generated action name describes the element rather than the user intent behind it.

Earlier this year, Datadog for Government achieved FedRAMP High certification, extending our GovCloud environment (US1-FED) to the federal government’s most sensitive civilian workloads. That certification now covers Datadog Incident Response, bringing paging, incident coordination, automation, and postmortem workflows into US1-FED. When a government system goes down, responders need to reach the right people, coordinate a fix, and keep stakeholders informed.

AI-assisted development can increase the rate at which teams produce code, but teams only realize those velocity gains if CI can keep pace. More pull requests (PRs) mean more builds, tests, and pipeline executions. Slow jobs leave developers and coding agents waiting for feedback, flaky failures consume time in reruns and investigations, and unnecessary test execution increases runner demand as delivery volume grows.

Earlier in this series, we covered key metrics for monitoring performance in Databricks and discussed Databricks’ native resources for accessing those metrics and other key observability data, such as logs and data lineage. In this post, we’ll cover using the Databricks integration to bring that data into Datadog and monitor your Databricks analytics and AI/ML workloads alongside the rest of your end-to-end data pipelines and distributed infrastructure. We’ll show you how to.

Automate Slack support questions with Datadog Workflow Automation and Bits AI Agent Builder. Datadog Workflow Automation can now trigger directly from messages posted in Slack. In this quick demo, Yuta Yoshida, Product Manager at Datadog, shows how to build an automated support workflow that: → Detects new support questions in a Slack channel→ Sends questions to a custom agent built with Bits AI Agent Builder→ Replies directly in the Slack thread with an answer and relevant documentation.

Engineering ships faster than ever with AI writing more of the code, but test coverage has to keep pace, or users find the broken flows first.

Incident response often spans a patchwork of tools, handoffs, and manual steps. An engineer gets paged, a team investigates the issue, the incident commander coordinates the response, SREs document decisions, and somebody (anybody!) writes the postmortem. Every handoff introduces more context switching, increasing the risk of critical information loss, and ultimately slowing resolution.

When production breaks, the clues are everywhere but the story is scattered. RUM sessions, APM traces, metrics, and logs allow Datadog to tell you part of the story. What’s missing is your service ownership quirks, your team's conventions, or the three-year-old workaround buried in a comment that explains why a certain endpoint behaves the way it does.

Senior engineers are the pillars of SRE programs—not only do they have the leadership to manage incidents well, they also have the tribal knowledge to understand the technical causes of tricky issues. But when the know-how is confined to a few individuals, it greatly limits the effectiveness of your SRE team.

AI is generating code at 10x human speed, but we’re not shipping software 10x faster. Agents have a quality problem, and we still can’t trust their output without validation. Breaking the code review model didn’t help. So what would it take to autonomously ship code that’s actually trustworthy? Join us to explore what an agentic harness looks like when the SDLC is the harness, a validation system that spans intent, CI, staging, and production, with context flowing bidirectionally between all stages.

Datadog has always been driven by a broader vision of helping teams understand and operate complex systems. In this session, you'll hear from Michael Whetten, Senior Vice President of Product Management, and Cansu Berkem, Director of Product Management, as they share the latest updates across the Datadog product suite and discuss how that vision continues to shape the platform's evolution and support the next generation of AI-driven applications.

AI can write code, but how does it do with a large, organically built codebase with years of development? Datadog’s monolithic webapp had significant scale and support challenges, so we knew the time had come to break it up. But when the code has been written, revised and tweaked so many times (as we keep adding new features and capabilities), by so many teams, that becomes much harder.

The elasticity and nearly infinite scalability of the cloud have transformed IT infrastructure. Modern infrastructure is now made up of constantly changing, often short-lived VMs or containers. This has elevated the need for new methods and new tools for monitoring. In this eBook, we outline an effective framework for monitoring modern infrastructure and applications, however large or dynamic they may be.
