As AI coding assistants dramatically inflate PR counts, commit frequency, and lines of code, the limitations of individual output metrics have never been more apparent. A developer can now produce significantly more lines per session, but higher volume doesn’t guarantee that the code is stable, maintainable, or successfully running in production. GitClear analyzed over 200 million lines of code and found that code churn nearly doubled following widespread AI adoption.

Cloud and SaaS spending continues to grow across teams, services, and providers, changing too quickly for retrospective cost management workflows to keep up. Finance and engineering leaders often rely on last month’s reports or manually maintained spreadsheets, which don’t reflect current usage. As a result, teams lack context on how spend is trending and often discover budget overruns only after they’ve occurred.

Alert fatigue and blind spots develop together. Monitoring stacks that generate noise while missing critical issues may have incomplete coverage or poorly configured alerts. As they grow reactively and without structured coverage assessment, both issues worsen. Teams will often add monitors when something breaks and tune thresholds when alerts become unbearable, but rarely audit their overall setup to see if it works.

Without experiment infrastructure to help you test your LLM applications, every research session starts with the same questions: What have we tried previously? What were the numbers? Which prompt version produced that result? Why did we discard that approach? The answers live in scattered notes, terminal history, and half-remembered conversations. Each handoff between sessions loses context. In practice, iteration can slow down as teams get bogged down in testing and analysis.

Metric exploration often begins with a simple question, but answering that question can require deep familiarity with metric names, tag structures, and query syntax. Experienced users spend time refining queries through trial and error, and newer users struggle to get started. As a result, teams face delays in troubleshooting and analysis. Valuable observability data, including metrics that are difficult to discover and query, also goes underused.

When a PostgreSQL query runs slowly, engineers often start with EXPLAIN ANALYZE. The output is a tree of plan nodes, each one describing a step the database took to execute it. A query with several joins and a subquery can produce 20 or more nodes. But the plan gives no visual indication of which node corresponds to each clause in the SQL text. Diagnosing the problem means viewing the plan in one window and the query in another, manually tracing connections between them.

AI adoption is accelerating across organizations, and spending often follows a similar pattern: rapid growth, multiple providers, and limited visibility into where costs originate. Each provider exposes billing data differently, with distinct schemas, dimensions, and interfaces. FinOps and engineering teams often spend significant time consolidating fragmented data, only to end up with partial attribution and limited context about who or what generated the AI spending.

Micro-frontend architectures, where independent teams build and deploy separate parts of a frontend application, introduce an observability challenge: Telemetry data is fragmented across services, making it difficult to determine which micro-frontend caused a performance degradation or error spike.

When your database performance degrades, diagnosing the root cause is rarely quick or straightforward. Your existing tools might surface metrics like CPU utilization, wait events, and query duration, but then leave you to correlate the data and identify what went wrong. Worse, what first appears to be the root cause can often just be a downstream effect of multiple interrelated issues.

Modern government missions depend on software platforms that can perform under demanding conditions. As agencies update systems that support public safety, benefits delivery, financial operations, and national priorities, they face security and compliance requirements that shape how technology is adopted as well as how it is built, operated, and evolved over time.

In the fast-paced world of mobile development, reliability rarely fails with a loud crash; instead, it degrades quietly through micro-regressions that erode user trust and engagement. While most companies track backend health and API latency, they often fly blind regarding the actual screen-level responsiveness that defines the true user experience. When Expedia Group underwent a major technical evolution, the team realized they lacked a consistent baseline to compare performance across platforms, leaving them unable to validate improvements before rollout.

You’re told to “go build agents” without clear guidance on what that actually means, how to do it well, or how to know if it is working. You are not a data scientist. You are a software engineer. In this talk, a Datadog AI product leader Shri Subramanian breaks down what changes when you move from building applications to building AI agents, and why familiar approaches like traditional testing and linear delivery fall short. We will explore how agent development shifts the focus from code alone to data, prompts, and evaluation, and why functional reliability matters just as much as operational reliability.

When stakeholders push for faster growth (new markets, new features, newly modernized stack) your engineering model has to change too. At FitnessPassport, the shift from offshore waterfall delivery to an in-house team meant rebuilding not just services, but confidence: legacy systems with weak logging and little visibility made it hard to know whether changes were working and impossible to spot issues before users did. In this talk, Director of Engineering Rob Mitchell will share how FitnessPassport adopted Datadog and used structured logs, metrics, and traces to tighten feedback loops.

Platform teams often end up as the bottleneck for “small” operational asks: add a new button, wire up a workflow, expose one more cloud capability—each change requiring engineering time, reviews, and releases. In this technical deep dive, engineers from the Department of Government Services (Victoria) share the architecture and open source CDK library behind their “Infrastructure Control Panel”: a modular operational enablement app that lets non-technical users interact safely with cloud resources through strong access controls.
