According to a recent survey by Enterprise Management Associates, IT outages can cost large enterprises more than $1.5 million per hour. AIOps offers a solution. With an effective AIOps platform in place, enterprises can decrease the frequency and cost of outages by 30% and reduce their duration to under an hour. AIOps means artificial intelligence for IT operations.

It came as a pleasant surprise. CloudZero recently discovered over $1.7 million in annualized savings. And, all from our own infrastructure. Otherwise, we would have spent $1.7 million on cloud resources we didn’t actually need. Cloud savings stories like this are common with CloudZero customers, and we often find companies spending more than they should in the cloud. If your team is also struggling with managing and controlling the cost of cloud computing, then this guide is for you!

By applying data engineering and machine learning to raw network telemetry, it’s possible to surface insights that would otherwise go unnoticed. Learn how this approach helps teams detect anomalies in real time, forecast capacity needs, and automate responses across complex, multi-domain environments.

Managing a self-hosted cloud infrastructure can be a complex and demanding task, which is why we pay for the privilege of companies to do this for us. Thanks to the range of options we have available, we can no move our data from the cloud quickly and easily, but there is one potential boundary of this, egress fees. Egress fees are what you have to pay to move your data from out the your cloud provider to another data center.

Before we started using Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM), we relied on frontend logging to gather data about the user experience. Logs gave us some helpful information about exceptions and errors but didn't provide any insight into issues directly related to the user’s perspective.

Businesses deploying LLM workloads increasingly rely on LLM proxies (also known as LLM gateways) to simplify model integration and governance. Proxies provide a centralized interface across LLM providers, govern model access and usage, and apply compliance safeguards for smoother operations and reduced complexity—making LLM usage more consistent and scalable.

Finding the right integrations, libraries, and open source tooling to extend a product has long been a challenge for developers. While Datadog has a vast offering of monitoring and observability solutions, many teams need to customize their setup in some way—whether by extending the Datadog Agent, integrating with third-party services, or using SDKs to interact with the Datadog API.
