Scaling HashiCorp's Cloud Platform - Dash 2021 (HashiCorp)

Oct 28, 2021 By Datadog In Datadog
Identifying bottlenecks during times of high load is critical to building a scalable software platform. Stress testing is one way to simulate high load on a system and allows you to proactively capture potential bottlenecks before they impact customers. Once a solution is implemented to address the bottleneck, you need a way to measure success and find a new limit. See how HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has developed a stress testing framework which heavily relies on Datadog’s custom metric capabilities in combination with some out of the box integrations to give HCP engineers a comprehensive view of their platform and how they used these insights to scale their concurrent data-plane provisioning by 300%.

Logging is an important part of every software application. In addition to capturing user activity, well-structured logs can make it easier to debug problems should they occur. But if your application is split up across several different subsystems, collecting and analyzing disparate logs can be a real challenge. Picture this scenario: You work at a startup that uses a CMS managed by a few admins. You also have a standalone front-end application for users to communicate with your platform via an API.
