Your remote developer can't access the VPN. Is it his home router? His ISP? Your network? You have no idea and no way to find out. This is the reality of modern IT. Your network doesn't end at your office perimeter. It extends into hundreds of homes, coffee shops, branch offices, and third-party locations you'll never set foot in. And when performance tanks, you're troubleshooting blind.

Log management and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are closely related but offer different layers of visibility. Rather than overlapping, they complement each other, together providing a connected view of what’s happening in your environment. How exactly? Let’s take a closer look.

Observability data has a habit of outgrowing everything else. As telemetry volume, variety, and velocity increases, staying organized gets harder. Governance becomes messy, and the cost of digging through “everything” keeps rising. Over the past year, Coralogix’s DataPrime engine has been addressing these challenges by laying a new foundation for observability at scale.

Tracing is one of the most transformative gifts of observability. It allows engineers to follow a single request through a distributed system and see every span and dependency along the way. However, even with that visibility, some of our most basic questions stay unanswered. Why did a specific span behave differently today than it did yesterday? Why did latency rise even when nothing “broke”?

Your network is not a static entity. It is a living system that has been running for years, absorbing countless changes. While your infrastructure may appear healthy on the surface, a slow and silent saboteur is often at work, methodically undermining your infrastructure from within. This is not the work of a malicious actor. It’s the inevitable result of a process you may not even be tracking: configuration drift.

Engineering teams rely on forms for everything from approvals to checklists, yet the process usually lives outside engineering operations. Spreadsheets, one-off surveys, and external form builders capture inputs, but they create scattered data, slow follow-ups, and manual translation into actionable work. Datadog Forms enables teams to create and share interactive forms directly within Datadog.

(Almost) everyone is using generative AI, and just as many aren’t seeing any benefits. Research firm Gartner calls it the “gen AI paradox” — nearly 80% of companies say they’ve invested in generative solutions, and the same number report no benefits to their bottom line. What’s more, 90% of projects are stuck in pilot mode; ready to take off, but just can’t get up to speed.
