Proactively monitor Kerberos-authenticated web apps and APIs with Datadog Synthetics

When employee authentication fails or becomes unreliable, users can lose access to the critical systems they need. Authentication enables access to internal tools like HR applications, finance portals, and internal dashboards, so even short outages can interrupt day-to-day work, while persistent issues increase the risk of broader operational disruption.

Datadog in the Era of AI

AI is changing everything. At Datadog, our approach is two-fold: empower you with complete observability across your entire stack, including AI as you incorporate it, and harness emergent technologies to make Datadog even more powerful. Join VP of Product Michael Whetten to see how Datadog is accomplishing these two approaches. He'll share the latest feature updates and new products designed to help you thrive in an AI-powered world. Plus, get a look at our long-term vision for the future of AI and its impact on your work.

Track the performance of your HPC workloads with Datadog's AWS PCS integration

AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS) is a managed service that helps users run and scale their high performance computing (HPC) workloads. AWS PCS uses Slurm, an open source workload manager, for scheduling and orchestrating simulations, which enables users to build their scientific and engineering models in a familiar HPC environment.

Monitor Windows Certificate Store with Datadog

The Windows Certificate Store is a critical component of any modern Windows environment. Certificates enable TLS encryption for Internet Information Services (IIS)-hosted applications, support certificate-based authentication in Active Directory, and help validate the identity of trusted Windows services. But if a certificate in your store expires, is revoked, or is part of a broken certificate chain, you risk instability and security gaps in your Windows environment.

Visually identify observability gaps with Cloudcraft in Datadog

Modern cloud environments are highly complex and dynamic, with critical services relying on large numbers of ephemeral resources. Ensuring observability coverage across this landscape is essential for troubleshooting, maintaining reliability, optimizing performance, and enforcing security standards. But as environments grow more elaborate and their ownership more dispersed, tracking observability coverage becomes increasingly challenging.

A practical guide to error handling in Go

When you first start coding in Go, you quickly learn how error handling in the language differs from error handling in languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or Ruby. In those languages, throwing an exception automatically generates a stack trace. Go, by contrast, provides no built-in error tracing to reveal an error’s origin.

Understanding dbt: basics and best practices

Data Build Tool (dbt) is an open source analytics engineering framework that enables teams to transform raw data that has been loaded into a warehouse like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks using SQL-based workflows. dbt is available in two main forms: dbt Core, the free and open source CLI tool, and dbt Cloud, a managed platform that adds scheduling, UI support, collaboration tools, and native integrations.

Visually identify and prioritize security risks using Cloudcraft

As cloud infrastructure becomes more dynamic and distributed, DevOps and security teams need to quickly detect risks and understand their context: where those risks live, how critical they are, and how to respond effectively. By surfacing misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, sensitive data risks, and identity threats directly on a real-time diagram of your infrastructure, Cloudcraft helps teams identify, prioritize, and remediate security issues at scale.
