Amazon MemoryDB for Redis is a highly durable in-memory database service that uses cross-availability-zone data storage and fast failover, providing microsecond read times and single-digit-millisecond write times. Datadog’s integration for MemoryDB uses a range of metrics to provide important visibility into MemoryDB performance.

Understanding costs is an essential part of service ownership. But in cloud-based applications, the cost of any given service often comes down to a wide range of dynamic factors. Individual services can incur fees from numerous dependencies, from data stores to observability solutions, and keeping track of these expenses can mean reckoning with the intricacies of many different billing models.

Today’s distributed IT infrastructure consists of many services, systems, and applications, each generating logs in different formats. These logs contain layers of important information used for data analytics, security monitoring, and application debugging. However, extracting valuable insights from raw logs is complex, requiring teams to first transform the logs into a well-known format for easier search and analysis.

A few months ago, we implemented support for exception profiling in PHP. One of the key justifications for building this functionality into Continuous Profiler was to show the hidden costs of exceptions in PHP, especially when they are used for flow control in hot code paths. Once this feature was built, we naturally wanted to know if it surfaced these kinds of flow control problems in customer production systems.

The proliferation of managed LLM services like OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and Anthropic have introduced a wealth of possibilities for generative AI applications. Application engineers are increasingly creating chain-based architectures and using prompt engineering techniques to build LLM applications for their specific use cases.

Widespread adoption of containerized infrastructure has been closely followed by an explosion of container-native tools for each layer of the stack, including new solutions for managing CI/CD pipelines in container-based environments, such as the Argo suite, FluxCD, and Tekton. This is because these lightweight solutions make it easier to automate builds, testing, deployments, and more on Kubernetes, as well as other platforms that manage containerized workloads and services.

Alert storms occur when your monitoring platform generates excessive alerts simultaneously or in succession. Although numerous factors can cause an alert storm, microservices architectures are uniquely susceptible to them due to multiple service dependencies, potential failure points, and upstream and downstream service relationships.

Foundation models, or large AI models, are the driving force behind the advancement of generative AI applications that cover an ever-growing list of use cases including chatbots, code completion, autonomous agents, image generation and more. However, when it comes to understanding observability metrics, current large language models (LLMs) are not optimal.

The elasticity and nearly infinite scalability of the cloud have transformed IT infrastructure. Modern infrastructure is now made up of constantly changing, often short-lived VMs or containers. This has elevated the need for new methods and new tools for monitoring. In this eBook, we outline an effective framework for monitoring modern infrastructure and applications, however large or dynamic they may be.
