This Month in Datadog: Integrations for AI/LLM Tech Stacks, Serverless Monitoring Releases, and more

Datadog is constantly elevating the approach to cloud monitoring and security. This Month in Datadog updates you on our newest product features, announcements, resources, and events. This month, we put the Spotlight on a trio of serverless monitoring releases..

Monitor your Boomi integrations with Kitepipe's offering in the Datadog Marketplace

Boomi is a cloud-based integration platform that helps customers connect their applications, data sources, and other endpoints. But monitoring and troubleshooting Boomi Atoms—the runtime engines for Boomi integration processes—and the applications connected to them can be a challenge. Boomi automatically purges logs after 30 days, and users must frequently correlate data from various disconnected sources for visibility into their Boomi processes.

Monitoring Amazon SageMaker with Datadog

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that enables data scientists and engineers to easily build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models. Whether you are integrating a personalized recommendation system into your video streaming application, creating a customer service chatbot, or building a predictive business analytics model, Amazon SageMaker’s robust feature set can simplify your ML workflows.

Introducing the Datadog Open Source Hub

At Datadog, we have always been deeply involved with open source software—producing it, using it, and contributing to it. Our Agent, tracers, SDKs, and libraries have been open source from the beginning, giving our customers the flexibility to extend our tools for their own needs. The transparency of our open source components also allows them to fully audit the Datadog software that is running on their systems. But our commitment to open source only starts there.

Monitor your mobile tests with Sofy's offering in the Datadog Marketplace

As your apps scale, testing can become repetitive, manual, and time-consuming, leading to slower release cycles and lower-quality code. Sofy is a SaaS platform that enables you to create and run automated tests on your mobile apps without writing any code. Sofy will automatically test your mobile apps on real iOS and Android devices, so you can optimize their performance and debug end-user experiences without setting up or maintaining your own test infrastructure.

Automate Agent installation with the Datadog Ansible collection

Ansible is a configuration management tool that helps you automatically deploy, manage, and configure software on your hosts. By turning manual workflows into automated processes, you can quicken your deployment lifecycle and ensure that all hosts are equipped with the proper configurations and tools. The Datadog collection is now available in both Ansible Galaxy and Ansible Automation Hub.

Seamlessly correlate DBM and APM telemetry to understand end-to-end query performance

When the services in your distributed application interact with a database, you need telemetry that gives you end-to-end visibility into query performance to troubleshoot application issues. But often there are obstacles: application developers don’t have visibility into the database or its infrastructure, and database administrators (DBAs) can’t attribute the database load to specific services.

Monitor the health of your Temporal Server with Datadog

Temporal is an open source programming model that enables users to write and run scalable and reliable cloud applications. The Temporal Platform consists of a Temporal Cluster and Worker Processes, which together create a runtime for reentrant processes called Workflow Executions. Temporal’s workflows are resilient programs that execute tasks and react to external events, including timers and signals.

Visualize user behavior with Datadog Clickmaps

While understanding user behavior is key to effectively optimizing your application, it can be difficult to grasp how problems in individual sessions fit into larger trends. You could look at each relevant user session one by one to gauge how many users are experiencing an issue and to what degree. However, clicking through hundreds (or even thousands) of sessions is time-consuming and can overwhelm you with data that’s hard to analyze.

Create browser tests directly from Datadog RUM Session Replay

Testing is a key part of application development and helps you maintain a reliable experience for your users. But the process can be difficult to scale and is often siloed to a single team or individual that does not have broad knowledge of your application’s UI. This can lead to organizations investing in sizable test suites that do not accurately represent real user behavior.

Leverage user context to debug mobile performance issues with the Instabug Datadog Marketplace offering

As user expectations for mobile apps increase, effective bug remediation involves not only addressing critical incidents as they occur but also proactively handling smaller performance issues in order to ensure a smooth user experience (UX). Instabug helps you understand how users experience your app with crucial mobile performance metrics—such as launch metrics, loading times, and UI hangs—viewable alongside your bug reports.
