Your business depends on the reliability of the third-party services you use. Monitoring the status pages of these services is the best way of keeping track of their outages and maintenances. Although some status pages let you subscribe to alerts, there is no standard way of doing this. Service providers can change their status page providers, disable subscriptions, or not support the same notification options.

At Honeycomb, we’re actively growing our design system, Lattice, to ensure accessibility, optimize performance, and establish consistent design patterns across our product. One metric we use to measure Lattice is the adoption of components across the product. Adoption is about understanding how, where, and why they’re being used.

Cloud migration is a rapidly growing market, projected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2025 (Gartner). Yet, 74% of migrations exceed budget and timeline expectations (IDC). Why? Because cloud migration isn’t just a technical shift—it’s a strategic business transformation requiring coordinated planning across applications, infrastructure, networks, and finances.

Azure Service Bus is a fully managed enterprise message broker that enables asynchronous messaging between distributed applications. It is designed to decouple application components, allowing them to communicate reliably, securely, and at scale. With Datadog’s Azure Service Bus integration, you can.

As your applications scale and generate more telemetry, it becomes increasingly difficult to sift through the data and analyze it against cost, business functions, and security measures. Logs, events, and other telemetry on their own may not include enough meaningful context or readable details, leading to slower troubleshooting, inefficient business processes, and higher costs.

The Datadog Action Catalog provides more than 1,400 actions to help you accelerate remediation across your infrastructure directly within Datadog. With actions, you can use Workflow Automation to configure workflows that automatically address issues as they happen and build custom apps in App Builder that empower anyone in your organization to act when incidents occur.

Cloud computing is all about efficiency. You need to get the most out of your resources without overspending or causing performance issues. For example, if you’re running virtual machines in Google Compute Engine, you need to size your instances correctly, optimize your workloads, and monitor your network traffic to prevent unexpected failures. However, when resources aren’t properly managed, things can quickly spiral out of control.

Public sector organizations today face unique challenges in maintaining and optimizing their IT infrastructure and prioritizing efficiency and interoperability. With a mix of modern cloud and legacy systems, ensuring consistent performance, reliability, and security is paramount. To effectively observe across these environments, government agencies need observability tools that are open, flexible, and scalable. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is fast becoming a pivotal part of that flexible toolset.

Recently we introduced support for Failure Strategies, which allows developers to implement more powerful logic and control flow into their workflows. Today, we are excited to announce a new step failure strategy, retry, which can auto-retry your failed steps without requiring any input from the user.

A while ago, your company chose a network monitoring tool that worked perfectly — back when most employees worked in the office, networks were centralized, applications ran on-premise, and "the cloud" was just a buzzword.
