Monitor Azure Pipelines with Datadog CI Visibility

End-to-end visibility into pipelines is crucial for ensuring the health and performance of your CI system, especially at scale. Within extensive CI systems—which operate under the strain of numerous developers simultaneously pushing commits—even the slightest performance regression or uptick in failure rates can compound rapidly and have tremendous repercussions, causing major cost overruns and impeding release velocity across organizations.

A gentle introduction to XDP

XDP, or eXpress Data Path, is a Linux networking feature that enables you to create high-performance packet-processing programs that run in the kernel. Introduced in Linux 4.8 and built on extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), XDP provides a mechanism to process network packets earlier and faster than is possible through the kernel’s native network stack. In this post, we’ll discuss.

Monitor your OpenAI usage with Datadog

OpenAI is an AI research and development company whose products include the GPT family of large language models. Since the introduction of GPT-3 in 2020, these models’ fluent and adaptable processing of both natural language and code has propelled their rapid adoption across diverse fields. GPT-4, ChatGPT, and InstructGPT are now used extensively in software development, content creation, and more.

Streamline network investigations with an enhanced querying and map experience

Effective network troubleshooting requires collecting and correlating thousands of data points across your entire stack. The more data you ingest, however, the more data you have to search through in order to locate important signals. This can make it hard to find the information you need during time-sensitive investigations.

Monitor OTel-instrumented apps with support for W3C Trace Context

To get visibility into highly distributed applications, organizations often use various tracing tools that are best suited to each individual service owner’s specifications. However, when a request travels between services that have been instrumented with different tools, the trace data may be formatted differently, resulting in broken traces.

Ensure release safety with feature flag tracking in Datadog RUM

Developers and teams who want to deploy new code often and safely leverage feature flags to decouple code deployments from feature releases. Feature flags enable teams to release new features to a subset of users, making it possible to test a new feature’s impact on users and ensuring that developers can easily roll back the feature if it causes downstream issues.

Highlights from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2023

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the premier event that focuses on cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes. This year’s European edition took place in person and was completely sold out, with 10,000 attendees. Datadog joined the event as a platinum sponsor, and several of our engineers delivered talks on various topics, ranging from etcd to image signing and verification. In this post, we’ll share more details on these talks, along with our takeaways from the event.

Release features faster and track their impact with Flagsmith's integration and Datadog Marketplace offering

The pressure to release application features faster to meet the demands of customers presents a number of challenges, including unforeseen deployment delays, custom feature sets, and complex rollbacks when errors occur. To overcome these challenges, developers can use Flagsmith, an open source feature flagging and remote configuration service that allows developers to easily roll out and test new features for a specific subset of users.
