Use Datadog App Builder to peak, purge, or redrive AWS SQS.

This video aims to showcase how developers can self-serve from an application to simplify the management of their AWS cloud resources. Rather than switching between tools or reaching out to another team for help, developers can take action directly from their observability tool, enabling faster resolution of application issues. We will demonstrate how to build a simple app that allows them to minimize disruptions by quickly taking action on their SQS queues in AWS, using insights provided by Datadog.

Simple Guide to Converting Prometheus Metrics to Graphite Using Telegraf

Monitoring with Graphite is often easier than with Prometheus because it uses a simple, hierarchical naming system that's intuitive to manage.

Why should you care about architectural differentiators?

When discussing what makes a product different, what makes it unique, we are led down the path of feature comparison. It is a natural thing to break down a product into its component parts to ease the process of weighing and measuring each layer. Does the authentication layer support SAML? Can platform components be defined in code? Beneath each of these features, however, is a foundational strata. A golden thread that enables and constrains each and every piece.
