Highlights from AWS re:Invent 2022

Just like shopping on Black Friday, AWS re:Invent has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition for some of us at Datadog.

“Perfect tagging” is a little bit like perfectly tuning a piano. It takes an enormous amount of manual effort to get right, it’s never truly perfect, and the slightest change in the surrounding environment can throw it out of harmony. The closer an organization wants to get to perfect tagging, the more engineering resources they have to invest in it — frequently at the expense of more impactful, innovation- and product-oriented projects.

Don't be held to ransom: Security awareness with Platform.sh

Ransomware is an ever-evolving type of malicious software (a.k.a malware) in which an attacker encrypts the files on a victim’s device, rendering it inaccessible and unusable.

How Technological Advancements Rapidly Influence Our Internet Connections
