Detect and map third-party outages with Datadog External Provider Status
Modern applications depend on dozens of external cloud platforms, APIs, and SaaS services to function. But when those providers experience issues, engineers often spend valuable time asking a basic question: Is the problem with us or with them? Provider-maintained status pages are often slow to update, leaving teams waiting for confirmation while incidents escalate. This delay wastes valuable time, prolongs investigations, and risks customer trust.
Optimize HPC jobs and cluster utilization with Datadog
High-performance computing (HPC) environments support some of the most critical workloads in the world—from asset pricing models in financial institutions to molecular simulations in drug discovery. These workloads often span hundreds of thousands of cores, depend on specialized infrastructure such as GPUs, and run for extended periods. As a result, performance and efficiency are critical.
Introducing Updog.ai: Real-time provider status from Datadog
When external SaaS providers or cloud services degrade or go down, engineers often find themselves wondering if the issue they're encountering is local or more widespread. The answers they find are usually slow to surface, limited in detail, or entirely dependent on the provider's updates. Vendor-controlled status pages and third-party aggregators don’t provide the timely, independent visibility that's necessary to quickly and accurately identify the root cause of slowdowns.

When IT Alerts Go Bump in the Night: A Halloween Tale of IT Alerting with SIGNL4
As the witching hour approaches, your data center hums quietly – servers glowing like jack-o’-lanterns in the dark. Everything seems calm… until suddenly, your phone lights up with a chilling alert. CPU usage is spiking. Network latency is haunting your system. The ghost of downtime lurks nearby. Welcome to the spooky world of IT alerting – where nightmares come true if your team isn’t ready.
How Do I Route Alerts by Location to the Right On-Call Team?
When your company has multiple offices or operational sites – whether that’s across the U.S. or around the world – getting alerts to the right team isn’t as easy as just checking who’s on duty. Events can come from a wide range of sources tied to different physical locations, time zones, or even separate departments, and not every alert is meant for every team. Let’s say your company has operations in New York, Dallas, and San Francisco.
What is Open Telemetry? The Future Is Here
Watch SolarWinds tech evangelist, Sascha Giese, dive into OpenTelemetry (OTel) and explain why a vendor-agnostic standard is the future of observability and application performance monitoring (APM). If you’ve ever wondered, what is OpenTelemetry? Sascha’s presentation is a great start or restart to diving back into the topic.
