Build custom apps in seconds with conversational AI in App Builder

Using a drag-and-drop interface, engineering teams can create apps that support troubleshooting, improve day-to-day operations, and offer self-service access without leaving Datadog. With the new conversational AI feature, teams can turn an idea into a working app in seconds. Watch the video to see how it works..

Check out features we announced at AWS re:Invent in the latest episode of This Month in Datadog

Tune in for spotlights of Bits AI SRE, now generally available, and Datadog’s MCP Server, which connects AI agents to our platform by ingesting prompts and mapping them to Datadog resources and data. Plus, we cover how to: Search logs at petabyte scale in your own infrastructure with CloudPrem Break down costs drivers at the prefix level with Storage Management Create workflows that adapt to real-world complexity with Agent Builder Detect and block credential leaks with Secret Scanning.

From Zero to Open Source Contributor

Never contributed to open source and feeling intimidated? Same. Before joining Datadog, Alessandro had zero open source experience. Now he's a regular contributor to Apache Iceberg. Here's exactly how he got started. Step 1: Join the Slack community and answer user questions. Step 2: Look for "good first issue" tags in the repo. Step 3: Remember that opening bug reports and doing code reviews count as contributions too.

The Hidden Costs and Concerns of Iceberg Maintenance

Everyone talks about how great Apache Iceberg is, but nobody warns you about this: without proper maintenance, your tables will bloat, queries will slow down, and your catalog will run out of memory. Here are the 4 critical operations you MUST run regularly. Expiring snapshots prevents metadata bloat (Datadog learned this the hard way with catalog memory pressure). Deleting orphan files cleans up failed writes. Compacting data files keeps streaming workloads fast. Compacting manifests optimizes query planning.

Improve log utilization with Datadog log exclusion filters | Datadog Tips & Tricks

Want to make your logs easier to work with? Excluding unneeded logs from indexing reduces noise and may reduce log management costs. In this video, you’ll learn how to: See for yourself how to improve log utilization with Datadog Log Patterns and log exclusion filters. Then set up an alert to track ingestion spikes.

Training Foundation Models on a Trillion Data Points with Apache Iceberg

Training an AI foundation model on over a trillion data points sounds impossible without hitting your production systems. Here's how Datadog did it with Apache Iceberg for their time series forecasting model TOTO. The key challenge: extracting massive historical observability data (metrics spanning years) and running incremental preprocessing pipelines without overwhelming production services. Iceberg solved this by providing schema governance, consistency guarantees, and seamless integration with ML tools like Ray and PyTorch.
