GITEX GLOBAL 2021 has come to an End! A big thanks to our partners and visitors for taking the time to come & meet us. Being the biggest trade show in the region, GITEX gave us the right platform to unveil our latest AI-powered offerings, AIOps and ServiceOps, which we are positioning as a unified solution to meet the challenges faced by enterprises due to the rapid modernization of their businesses.

Roadmap revealed, insight gained, connections made, and InfluxDB Challenge swag won — that’s a wrap for InfluxDays North America 2021! The conference, which brought together the #InfluxDB community to exchange time series acumen and use cases, is always a reminder of why and how we’ve grown. It included subject-matter-expert led courses, on-demand videos and live sessions.

Today at Dash 2021, we announced new products and features that give your team even greater visibility into the health and performance of your code, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and more. Now, you can monitor network devices, get visibility into your services' golden signal metrics without touching a single line of code, and integrate third-party tools into our platform with Datadog Apps. We expanded RUM to include iOS error tracking, Session Replay, and Watchdog Insights.

I've never seen so much news during VMworld! It began to seem comical that every speaker at the opening "General Session" and subsequent keynotes used the line "We are proud to announce." By the way, one of the most excellent General Sessions I've ever seen in terms of tempo, delivery, and rhetoric! From October 15, you will be able to find all content on-demand here.

During this year's VMworld, we announced that our solution Catchpoint Digital Experience Monitoring is now also available for purchase on VMware Marketplace. It is easier than ever for our customers to access, deploy, and start using Catchpoint solutions to realize and achieve their business goals.

The 2021 Now at Work Digital Experience included a series of regional events with locally relevant topics and featured leaders from the business, government, and sports communities. Guest speakers, industry luminaries, partners, and customers sharing their success stories joined in the worldwide movement to workflow a better world.

After a week in sunny Southern California, KubeCon North America 2021 is a wrap in Los Angeles. For many of us, KubeCon was the first in-person event we have attended since the start of the pandemic. Though this year, KubeCon is a hybrid event even if you missed the in-person talks, you can still catch the virtual talks online. Compared to KubeCons of years gone by, the event has been scaled back slightly to respect social distancing and slowly easing folks back into in-person conferences.

We just wrapped up a fantastic 5th Illuminate, Sumo Logic’s user conference, filled with amazing customer speakers, partners, and Sumo Logic experts all sharing their insights and expertise. The level of engagement taking place during presentations, workshops and executive meetings showed the high level of interest in open telemetry, unified analytics and full-stack observability to solve the challenges inherent in application modernization and cloud migration.

Yet another Puppetize Digital is in the (online only) books. Our second annual virtual conference drew attendees from around the globe, bringing together the people at the center of automation. If you weren’t able to attend this year’s event live, worry not! You can watch the entire conference on-demand here. Read on for Puppetize highlights!

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America is just around the corner. I’ve been looking forward to this event for a long time, especially since 2020 was virtual and it looks like there will be an in person option this year. This should be a great event and there are going to be a ton of awesome sessions. Last year was simply enormous with over 15K attendees who joined virtually.
