Continuous Testing provides efficient, reliable testing that works seamlessly with the rest of your CI/CD pipelines. In this demo, we show you how you can use the Continuous Testing Explorer page, GitHub integration, and codeless web recorder to easily create useful tests and analyze the results.

As modern systems become increasingly more complex, the risk of incidents and outages increases. Old approaches to reliability can sometimes be adapted to novel system designs, but other times new methods need to be invented. In this panel session moderated by Datadog’s Jason Yee, you’ll hear from SRE leaders and systems architects across the industry about how they’re designing and operating systems to achieve greater reliability.

DevOps principles have helped many organizations improve cross-team collaboration, which has in turn led to increased reliability and velocity in the development lifecycle. In this session moderated by Jason Yee, we hear from panelists who have applied these same DevOps principles to observability, helping them unlock data-based insights and empower teams to make smarter, more informed decisions.

Measuring user experience is typically done by tracking metrics like latency and purchase frequency. But these metrics can often obscure real user sentiment. In this panel session moderated by Miranda Kapin, you can learn about better ways to uncover how users are truly experiencing your application and methods for improving their engagement.

In 2020, CoverWallet—a multi-tenant insurance platform—was acquired by Aon, which led to a rapid expansion in both the size and global presence of its engineering organization. In his talk, CoverWallet’s Hylke Alons walks through the changes that were necessary to meet their platform's new expectations, including improving growth and scalability while ensuring reliability, automating security, and reducing maintenance. He also discusses some best practices for scaling up engineering and product teams to handle demand in a complex and highly regulated industry like insurance.

Between CI/CD pipelines, container orchestrators, and developer debugging tools, more and more automation is needed to scale your systems. But how do you know if that automation is accessing the right systems at the right time? And how do you ensure that your automation is safe from exploits by unauthorized users?

Bad planning methods can damage team morale and prevent teams from improving the systems they maintain. In this talk, Sam Handler from Shopify explains how his attempts to fix poor infrastructure planning processes through Agile methods failed. Drawing from this experience, he offers several principles that can help infrastructure teams improve the way they work.

Processing data at scale involves moving packets through a network—but what happens when that network isn't cooperative? Anatole Beuzon, a Software Engineer at Datadog, discusses how he investigated and resolved network issues in Datadog’s larger data-processing apps and how you can apply these same methods to your own production workloads.

Site reliability engineering (SRE) can be complicated, and at Datadog, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about SRE and refining how we implement it. Join Datadog’s Brandon West and Rick Mangi as they provide a brief overview of SRE and its core concepts. This video also contains a Q&A session from the live taping of this panel.

As companies scale, it’s become increasingly important to keep cloud cost management and optimization top of mind. In this talk, Yuval Yogev from Sygnia walks you through Sygnia’s optimization journey of cutting their total cloud costs in half. Yogev also shares insights into how you can optimize your own organization’s cloud usage and spend.
