Operator vs. Helm: Finding the best fit for your Kubernetes applications

Kubernetes operators and Helm charts are both tools used for deploying and managing applications within Kubernetes clusters, but they have different strengths, and it can be difficult to determine which one to use for your application. Helm simplifies the deployment and management of Kubernetes resources using templates and version-controlled packages. It excels in scenarios where repeatable deployments and easy upgrades or rollbacks are needed.

Integration roundup: Understanding email performance with Datadog

Visibility into email health and performance is indispensable to any organization seeking to reach its customers through their inboxes. As they work to curtail spam, internet service providers (ISPs) are redefining the standards of deliverability on an ongoing basis, and organizations often struggle to adapt.

Get insights into service-level Fastly costs with Datadog Cloud Cost Management

As your organization scales its applications across many different cloud and SaaS providers, it becomes more challenging to understand your costs. You likely receive your bill at the end of the month, meaning you don’t have real-time visibility into who’s spending what and which services or applications your teams are spending the most on. Changing service costs also makes it difficult to break down your costs and identify what is driving spend, leaving you unable to take action.

Optimize Ruby garbage collection activity with Datadog's allocations profiler

One Ruby feature that embodies the principle of “optimizing for programmer happiness” is how the language uses garbage collection (GC) to automatically manage application memory. But as Ruby apps grow, GC itself can become a big consumer of system resources, and this can lead to high CPU usage and performance issues such as increased latency or reduced throughput.

Best practices for monitoring and remediating connection churn

Elevated connection churn can be a sign of an unhealthy distributed system. Connection churn refers to the rate of TCP client connections and disconnections in a system. Opening a connection incurs a CPU cost on both the client and server side. Keeping those connections alive also has a memory cost. Both the memory and CPU overhead can starve your client and server processes of resources for more important work.
