The Internet of Things (IoT) is a wonderful marketing term given to devices that are connected to the internet. Today everything from light switches, air conditioners to door locks have the option of being internet-connected. Now that multiple companies have created “tags” that you can add to anything from keys to cars and packages, anything can be tracked. Across the business, industry, and retail almost every physical component has the option of being internet-connected.

When managing distributed environments, we find ourselves challenged with looking for different ways to understand performance better. Telemetry data is critical for solving such a challenge and helping DevOps and IT groups understand these systems’ behavior and performance. To get the most from telemetry data, it has to be captured and analyzed, then tagged to add relevant context, all while being sure to maintain the security and efficiency of user and business data.

Organizations need tools to manage their infrastructure, which today is expanding beyond the data center to include multiple public clouds.

Sending custom metrics to Datadog allows you to monitor important data specific to your business and applications, such as latency, dollars per customer, items bought, or trips taken. And tags are key to being able to slice and dice these custom metrics to quickly find the information you need. But collecting enough custom metrics to have complete visibility can be cost prohibitive. For example, you might run microservices instrumented across thousands of containers.

In basically every modern software organization, building software is not just a matter of writing code – it’s a matter of testing it to ensure it works properly, a matter of creating artifacts out of it that can be used by the end customers, and a matter of deploying them to a customer-accessible location for these customers to be able to actually use it.
