Amazon EKS on Fargate is a managed service that reduces the operational overhead of maintaining a Kubernetes cluster by abstracting away the underlying infrastructure. In a serverless Fargate environment, each pod is assigned its own isolated compute resources; there is no direct host-level access.

Engineering teams need to deliver reliable, secure, and high-performing applications, all while keeping costs under control. But engineers often lack visibility into cloud cost data, relying on finance-driven reports that they receive only after the billing cycle closes. Without daily cost insights alongside observability data, they don’t know until it’s too late that an infrastructure change caused a significant cost increase.

Visibility into email performance is indispensable to any organization that counts on its ability to reach people through their inboxes, including Datadog. SREs, FinOps, and many other teams rely on email as a critical channel for communications from our platform, including monitor alerts, usage reports, and service account notifications. At Datadog, we depend on the visibility provided by our integrations for Mailgun, SendGrid, and Amazon SES to optimize our email performance and ensure deliverability.

Datadog Workflow Automation can automate processes and reduce the amount of time spent on time-consuming, repetitive tasks. You can trigger these workflows in real time by tying them to alerts, dashboards, Slack messages, and other signals.

When incidents occur, clear communication can be just as important as fast remediation. Your internal teams need timely updates to stay aligned, and your users want to know what is happening and when they can expect a fix. Without a reliable way to proactively share updates, support teams can get flooded with tickets and customer trust can erode. Datadog Status Pages, now generally available, makes it easy to keep everyone informed through a public or internal web page during outages.

Integrations have always been central to the Datadog platform, enabling customers to collect the data they need directly from the technologies they use every day. By unifying signals from infrastructure and applications to security and SaaS applications, teams gain both high-level visibility and the ability to drill into the details that matter the most. With more than 1,000 integrations now available, the Datadog ecosystem continues to expand alongside the platforms our customers rely on.

Slurm (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) is an open source workload management system used to schedule jobs and manage resources for high-performance computing (HPC) Linux clusters. It ensures that jobs and resources are scheduled fairly and efficiently and is scalable across large clusters, an issue that native Linux process management tools struggle with.
