At Datadog, we’re constantly developing new integrations to give you complete, end-to-end visibility into your entire system. Here are just a few of our latest releases.

Effective network troubleshooting requires collecting and correlating thousands of data points across your entire stack. The more data you ingest, however, the more data you have to search through in order to locate important signals. This can make it hard to find the information you need during time-sensitive investigations.

To get visibility into highly distributed applications, organizations often use various tracing tools that are best suited to each individual service owner’s specifications. However, when a request travels between services that have been instrumented with different tools, the trace data may be formatted differently, resulting in broken traces.

Developers and teams who want to deploy new code often and safely leverage feature flags to decouple code deployments from feature releases. Feature flags enable teams to release new features to a subset of users, making it possible to test a new feature’s impact on users and ensuring that developers can easily roll back the feature if it causes downstream issues.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the premier event that focuses on cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes. This year’s European edition took place in person and was completely sold out, with 10,000 attendees. Datadog joined the event as a platinum sponsor, and several of our engineers delivered talks on various topics, ranging from etcd to image signing and verification. In this post, we’ll share more details on these talks, along with our takeaways from the event.

The pressure to release application features faster to meet the demands of customers presents a number of challenges, including unforeseen deployment delays, custom feature sets, and complex rollbacks when errors occur. To overcome these challenges, developers can use Flagsmith, an open source feature flagging and remote configuration service that allows developers to easily roll out and test new features for a specific subset of users.

When managing queues and services in streaming data pipelines that use technologies like Kafka and RabbitMQ, SREs and application developers often struggle to determine if these pipelines are performing as expected. Visibility into the performance of a streaming data pipeline, after all, requires visibility into every component of that pipeline.

As the complexity of modern software development lifecycles increase, it’s important to have a comprehensive monitoring solution for your continuous integration (CI) pipelines so that you can quickly pinpoint and triage issues, especially when you have a large number of pipelines running.

Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution for deploying web applications, event-driven functions, RESTful APIs, and more. Azure App Service enables developers to quickly build and release services that scale dynamically—without worrying about provisioning and maintaining infrastructure. Last year, we released the Datadog extension for Azure App Service for deep visibility into your Windows.NET applications.

As organizations evolve and their stacks become more complex, they need increasingly robust visibility into their cloud-based infrastructure, services, and applications. Meanwhile, teams within these organizations tend to become more specialized and siloed. As they multiply across offices and time zones, these teams must be enabled to collaborate flexibly without muddling their distinct day-to-day priorities.
