Datadog is constantly elevating the approach to cloud monitoring and security. This Month in Datadog updates you on our newest product features, announcements, resources, and events.

Datadog Continuous Testing helps you accelerate releases while reducing bugs. Create scalable tests directly in the UI with our user-friendly codeless web recorder, and ensure fast, reliable troubleshooting across any environment with parallel, multi-location, and self-healing browser tests.

Hear how Datadog Log Management has enabled Whatnot, DoControl, and AVIV Group to gain greater visibility into their code and costs.

Hear how Klarna’s engineers utilize Datadog APM to analyze and optimize their services.

Canva is an online design platform with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere. To guarantee our customers have the best experience using our products, Canva engineers rely on the tools and products provided by the Observability team to measure and quantify critical application health and performance metrics. Canva’s Observability team uses OpenTelemetry components to collect, transform and export standardised telemetry data from our applications and platforms. Canva has been an early adopter of OTel using OTel SDK for tracing and the collector gateway to process and export telemetry to various tools. In this talk we’ll take a deeper look at how Canva uses OTel in our current observability workflows.

Datadog Network Device Monitoring (NDM) provides deep visibility into your full inventory of network-connected devices. Datadog autodiscovers devices from any network, and allows you to correlate health and performance data from your devices with other observability data in a single unified platform.

When Datadog introduced its Log Management product, it required a new event data storage platform, as storing logs and events is a completely different problem from storing metrics, which was the first Datadog product. Over time, Datadog introduced more and more products that needed to store and index multi-kilobyte timeseries “events”, re-using the Event Platform infrastructure from Log Management. The increased use of the Event Platform and the new feature requirements coming from new products started exposing the limitations of the legacy system and the need for a new approach

Watchdog is Datadog’s AI engine, providing you with automated alerts, insights, and root cause analyses that draw from observability data across the entire Datadog platform. Watchdog continuously monitors your infrastructure and surfaces the signals that matter most, helping you quickly detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues. Plus, all Watchdog features come built in—no setup required.

Datadog Container Monitoring gives you real-time, end-to-end visibility into your containerized environments. In this demo, we show you how Container Monitoring helps you correlate container metrics with logs, traces, and network data to quickly detect and investigate anomalies across every layer of your Kubernetes clusters. We also walk you through setting up AI-enhanced monitors to receive automatic alerts for future issues.
