Build incident response workflows with Datadog Bits Chat

See how Bits Chat turns a natural-language request into an automated incident response workflow. In this demo, Bits Chat builds a workflow that investigates a monitor alert, identifies whether a recent deployment caused the issue, rolls it back when appropriate, and sends a summary to Slack.

Microsoft Took 8 Months to Fix This Copilot Vulnerability

Microsoft finally patched a critical Copilot vulnerability nearly eight months after researchers first disclosed it — and the way the attack worked raises some unsettling questions about AI memory. The vulnerability chained together multiple flaws that could allow a malicious prompt hidden inside a webpage to be pulled into Copilot simply by asking it to summarize the page. From there, the attack could potentially access connected data from services like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar and exfiltrate that information using Copilot’s own capabilities. But the most concerning part may have been persistence.

Agent vs Agentless Monitoring and How to Decide What Goes Where

Why does half the infrastructure end up returning no monitoring data? The standard plan is to install collection software on everything, which moves quickly across servers and stops dead at the first device running closed firmware. Storage arrays, firewalls, and switches will never accept an install, and the rollout stalls there. That plan usually gets set once for the whole environment, with a single collection model applied to hardware it was never suited for.

AI cost calculator: estimate your total spend

An AI cost calculator for the whole wallet adds four lanes: seats and subscriptions, API and token usage, cloud AI services, and GPU infrastructure. Average 2026 totals run $25 per employee per month at light adoption, $100 to $150 at active adoption, and $300 or more at AI-heavy companies. Getting to your number takes four lane subtotals and three corrections.

Prompts, skills, and the AGENTS.md nobody wants to write (and how Anthropic writes theirs)

You’ve watched Claude Code compact a conversation. The context bar fills, it pauses, a summary appears, and it carries on like nothing happened. You probably assumed a housekeeping script trimmed the transcript in the background. It didn’t. The model compacted itself. When the window fills, Claude Code sends a long, specific prompt telling the model how to summarize its own conversation. Then it does, same model, same turn. The thing managing your context window is just another instruction.

Is Your UV DTF Printer Ready for Growth? 7 Production Bottlenecks

Buying a UV DTF printer is often treated as a simple equipment decision: compare specifications, choose a machine, and start producing. In practice, the printer itself is only one part of a much larger production system. A machine that works perfectly for ten orders a week may become frustrating when demand doubles. The problem is not always that the printer is too slow. Supplies, workspace, maintenance routines, file preparation, finishing, replacement parts, and operator time can all become the real constraint.

One DTF Printer or Two? A Smarter Capacity Plan for Growing Print Shops

Buying more DTF printing capacity sounds simple: if orders are increasing, buy a faster machine. In practice, growing print shops face a more important decision. Should you replace the current printer with a higher-output model, or keep it and add a second production machine? The better answer depends on more than print speed. Order concentration, maintenance windows, rush-job frequency, operator capacity, artwork mix, and the cost of production downtime all affect which setup gives a shop more usable capacity.

Before You Buy a Hydraulic Heat Press: Run This DTF Production Bottleneck Audit

A hydraulic heat press makes sense when the press station is a measurable production constraint, not simply because a shop is getting busier. Before upgrading, track where orders wait, how much operator time pressing requires, how often work is re-pressed, and whether the press can keep pace with printing and garment preparation. If the queue consistently forms at the press, an upgrade may solve a real workflow problem. If delays start somewhere else, a new press may only move the bottleneck.
