To do so, we are increasing the default cron jitter from five minutes to 20 minutes.

Add traceability to your pipeline with Configuration as Code

Configuring applications, services, and environments by modifying plain text files is a standard part of modern software development. Configuration as Code (CaC) takes this one step further by systematically generating, storing, and managing configuration files. CaC allows development teams to automate config management for their applications and environments while ensuring consistency and traceability throughout the development life cycle.

Monitor custom serverless metrics with the Datadog Lambda extension

When building serverless applications on AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch provides out-of-the-box metrics that measure the performance, errors, and duration of your functions. Although these standard Lambda metrics provide visibility into your serverless applications, it can also be invaluable to monitor custom metrics that are unique to your use case and application.

Find Flow Podcast - The Past, Present and Future of AIOps

In this video, Sean McDermott of the Find Flow podcast sits down with Ani Gujrathi, chief technical officer for Zenoss, and myself. We dive into the original approach to AIOps, how that has evolved, and how it continues to evolve. We start by exploring the entire purpose of AIOps — figuring out how to accelerate problem resolution in modern, complex IT environments while dealing with the pervasive problem of monitoring tool silos.
