To make serverless architectures more observable, we’re excited to introduce the new Cloud Functions view in Datadog. You can now search, filter, and explore all your AWS Lambda functions in one central view, and dive straight into detailed performance data that is scoped to a single function. The Cloud Functions view brings together Lambda metrics and logs with distributed request traces from your functions, which are now available in Datadog thanks to our new integration with AWS X-Ray.
Datadog is pleased to announce the upcoming availability of Synthetics, a whole new layer of visibility on the Datadog platform. By monitoring your applications and API endpoints via simulated user requests, Synthetics helps you ensure uptime, identify regional issues, and track application performance. By unifying Synthetics with your metrics, traces, and logs, Datadog allows you to observe how all your systems are performing as experienced by your users.
Today we released our new open source package called nova-ohdear-tool. It's meant to be installed into a Laravel Nova app. Laravel Nova is a package that allows you to easily create admin panels for Laravel applications. You'll find the installation instructions in the documentation section of Oh Dear!.
With the increasing popularity and adoption of native cloud and serverless systems organizations are starting to demand that DevOps better understand - and manage - cloud costs. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.
