You Need an Advisor. Not an AI Assistant.

Complex environments don’t fail because teams lack data. They fail when teams can’t trust what the data is telling them. There are too many signals, too little time, and too much risk riding on every decision. That’s the reality Skylar Advisor is built for: delivering guidance teams can verify, so they can act faster without gambling on opaque, black-box answers.

How does Coralogix go beyond basic migration?

When a team, division or organization is assessing a new vendor, there are some basic questions that must be answered. At Coralogix, we look at migrations in a different way. It isn’t about transporting the current state of play into a new vendor, often called a “lift and shift”. These are the basics. There is a whole new level of onboarding and support that doesn’t just replicate value across platforms – it expands it.

Tool Consolidation Is Dead. Long Live Agentic AI.

It’s 2026, and developers have more tools at their disposal than at any point in the industry’s history: CI/CD platforms are richer; observability stacks are deeper; security, data, and AI tooling have exploded into crowded, competitive ecosystems. And yet, delivery is still slow, incidents are still noisy, workflows are still brittle. The problem is no longer tool scarcity or feature depth. It’s integration debt.

How to Implement Distributed Tracing in Microservices with OpenTelemetry Auto-Instrumentation

This guide shows you how to implement OpenTelemetry’s auto-instrumentation for complete distributed tracing across your microservices, from initial setup through production optimization and troubleshooting.

OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Best Practices for Microservices Observability

OpenTelemetry instrumentation is the foundation of modern microservices observability, but getting it right in production requires more than just enabling auto-instrumentation. This guide covers production-tested OpenTelemetry best practices that help engineering teams achieve reliable distributed tracing, control observability costs, and extract maximum value from their telemetry data.

Protect agentic AI applications with Datadog AI Guard

Organizations are increasingly using agentic AI applications powered by large language models (LLMs) to automate analysis, decision-making, and operational workflows. As these AI agents take on more responsibility, they gain access to internal tools and services and can interact with them in unintended ways.

How to optimize JavaScript code with CSS

When to use JavaScript or CSS in frontend projects is a matter of continued debate among many frontend developers. JavaScript is often the default choice for frontend development, as it offers a robust collection of libraries custom-made for creating advanced UI features, such as data-based visualizations or complex animations. But JavaScript also comes with tradeoffs, particularly when it comes to performance, accessibility, and code complexity.

Trace Google Pub/Sub workloads in Cloud Run with Datadog

Event-driven systems are great at decoupling services, but they also make incidents harder to untangle. A single user request can turn into dozens (or thousands) of messages, multiple consumers, retries, and delayed acknowledgments. If your tracing only tells you that a message was sent or received, you still have to guess which upstream request produced the message, whether a batch publish fanned out cleanly, and where queue time is accumulating.
