What Is Cloud Networking? Types, Benefits and How to Monitor It

Think about Outlook, Salesforce or the shared drive your staff open each morning, and at least one of them probably runs in AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. That puts a good share of your traffic on a cloud network nobody on your team has ever seen. You still own a lot of that path (the VPN link, the route tables, the security groups), and it breaks in ways an office network doesn't.

Diagnose frontend performance issues with RUM Profiling

When a mobile application takes too long to launch or becomes unresponsive, it can be difficult to find the cause. Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) helps developers detect these issues and understand which users are affected. But knowing that an application is slow doesn’t tell you which part of its code is responsible. Engineers often need to reproduce the problem locally, piecing together performance metrics and code execution information from separate tools.

Manage and deploy LLM prompts with Datadog

Prompts are an important part of LLM application behavior, but teams often manage them alongside application code or across separate notebooks and configuration files. This can make prompt changes dependent on application releases and make it difficult to understand which version is running in each environment. When a change affects application quality, latency, or cost, teams also need a way to connect that behavior back to the prompt version that produced it.

Can driver-monitoring systems help prove fault in a rideshare crash?

Driver-monitoring systems are increasingly used by rideshare companies to capture data during every trip. These technologies gather detailed information that can become crucial evidence in resolving rideshare accidents. Understanding how this evidence is collected, preserved, and accessed is important for both passengers and legal professionals in places such as Paramus.

The $6.3B Binance Hack: What Happened and What It Teaches Security Teams About Investigation

TL;DR On October 29, 2026, attackers drained about $6.3 billion in crypto assets from Binance’s hot wallets, the largest crypto theft on record. Binance says the incident may have started with a compromised laptop, but its investigation has since found additional points of breach, and the root cause is still being confirmed. For engineering and security teams, the lesson is about how quickly you can reconstruct what happened across many systems once something goes wrong. In this post.

5 AWS Logging Tips and Best Practices

If you're an Amazon Web Services (AWS) user, you're probably familiar with some of Amazon's native services available for logging and monitoring, such as CloudWatch and CloudTrail.

How We Protect Our JavaScript Agent, and How to Host It Yourself

On October 29, a web performance script started emptying Polymarket wallets. The script belonged to DebugBear, a performance monitoring service a lot like Request Metrics. Polymarket ran it to measure how fast its site loaded for real visitors. Scott Helme’s analysis shows that cdn.debugbear.com stopped serving DebugBear’s script. An nginx server answered in its place with a script built to drain Polymarket accounts.
