Experimentation is the key to innovation. But experiments come with risks, not just of failure, but of wasted time, effort, and money. I’ll share the experimental approach that NTT DOCOMO, Japan’s largest wireless provider, takes to build digital products that customers love. I’ll also present examples from experiments we performed on NTT DOCOMO’s Smart-life website that improved the user experience and significantly increased conversion rates. In this session, you’ll learn how to reduce the risk of experiments and iterate faster to improve your services.

In this video we continue our examination of Linux namespaces by looking at some details of how the user namespace can be used to de-couple the user ID inside a container from the user ID on the host, allowing a container to run as the root user without the risks of being root on the host. To learn more, read our blog on Datadog’s Security Labs site.

"Startups are defined by “ship or die”. As a result, SRE teams at a startup should be focused on enabling product engineers to ship features as quickly as possible. As your startup transitions from “we’ll run out of money in the next 18 months” to “we have more than 1000 engineers”, how should the SRE organization evolve and provide the best value through that transition (including booting one up if you don’t have one)? I will discuss specific ways the organization needs to evolve to meet this challenge, how the SRE org can advocate for and support this change (both in direct actions and in “influence”), and how the overhang of startup technical and cultural debt can make this shift more challenging (but also more necessary).

Artificial intelligence has captured the attention of the world, with tools like ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs) driving the conversation. But you don’t need to wait for the future or new features powered by LLMs to start working smarter—the tech industry has been investing in intelligent, automated tools for years and they’re ready for production now. In this talk, you’ll learn how the engineering teams at Toyota Connected use tools like Datadog Watchdog, Anomaly Detection, and Workflows to make our lives easier and keep our platform stable.

Before Datadog was a widely adopted SaaS platform, it was a tool developed to solve our founders’ own monitoring needs. As technology-oriented people, we often build solutions for our own problems, then discover those problems are widespread. But how do you know when your solution should be something more? In this panel session, we’ll talk with tech startup founders to hear their stories and advice for turning tools into businesses.

With Datadog Workflow Automation, teams can automate entire remediation processes across their tools and services in response to alerts and security signals, directly in Datadog’s unified platform.

Datadog Data Streams Monitoring (DSM) helps you easily track and improve the performance of your streaming data pipelines by mapping, monitoring, and troubleshooting them all in one place. With DSM, you can monitor end-to-end latency, locate faulty queues or services, and mitigate floods of backed-up messages so that you can avoid critical downtime.

In this video, we continue our examination of Linux namespaces by looking at some details of how the network namespace can be used to isolate a container’s view of network resources, and how this feature can be used for troubleshooting container problems.

See what it’s like to have a central hub for all service knowledge alongside real-time observability data, including ownership, reliability, performance, and security, all in one place. With Service Catalog, you can not only better evaluate your system’s production readiness and adherence to industry best practices at scale with Scorecards, but also better understand the interrelationships between different microservices, or capture the cascading dependencies, between services and teams.

WebRTC is a standard for real-time digital communications by enabling video, audio, and data streaming. Originally created for web browsers, Datadog uses WebRTC to create streaming applications across a variety of platforms, from Electron-based native applications to mobile applications.
