As Datadog scaled to handle over a hundred trillion daily events, our engineering teams built their own custom query engines to keep things fast. While this helped teams move quickly, it also created silos that made it tough to analyze data across different products. To keep growing and support AI, we had to find a way to bring these engines together using open standards without slowing anyone down or risking reliability.

AI has become incredibly sophisticated and changed the way we build and power applications. But it has also introduced volatile complexity that challenges how we ensure reliability and protect user experiences. Join our panel of experts as they discuss the realities of building AI-powered applications. They’ll talk about how testing has evolved, share insights into how they do evals and experiments, and offer advice on how to get better visibility into how your AI is performing.

CircleCI automatically generates fix prompts for failed pipelines. Copy one into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or your coding agent of choice to diagnose failures, make fixes, and rerun pipelines with the CircleCI CLI.

Was this the worst week in cybersecurity? AI-discovered PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, the LiteLLM supply chain attack, and reports of unauthorized AI agents accessing bank accounts are exposing serious weaknesses in software security. But is this really a cybersecurity problem, or has AI exposed decades of poor software engineering decisions? In this episode of ShipTalk, Martin Reynolds and Adam Arellano break down a remarkable week in AI security and debate whether engineering or security teams should be responsible for fixing what comes next.
