Announcing support for Graviton2-powered AWS Fargate deployments

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to deploy containerized applications on services like Amazon ECS without needing to provision or manage compute resources. Now, Datadog is proud to be a launch partner with Amazon for their support of AWS Fargate workloads running on Graviton2, Amazon’s proprietary ARM64 processor.

Obfuscate user data with Session Replay default privacy settings

Session Replay enables you to replay in a video-like format how users interact with your website to help you understand behavioral patterns and save time troubleshooting. Visibility into user sessions, however, can risk exposing sensitive data and raise privacy concerns. For example, a user session may include typing in a credit card or social security number into an input field.

Monitor Google Workspace with Datadog

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a collection of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools developed by Google. Today, millions of teams use Google Workspace (e.g., Gmail, Drive, Hangouts) to streamline their workflows. Monitoring Google Workspace activity is an essential part of security monitoring and audits, especially if these applications have become tightly integrated with your organization’s data.

Monitor your Synthetic private locations with Datadog

Datadog Synthetic private locations play a key role in your organization’s test infrastructure by serving as highly customizable points of presence (e.g., data centers, geographic locations) for running synthetic tests on internal services. You can deploy private locations using the orchestrator of your choice, enabling you to seamlessly roll them out and scale them with the rest of your container fleet.

Maintaining Operational Sanity Across 100+ AWS Accounts | Eric Mann / Ryan Tomac (Vacasa)

At Vacasa, AWS accounts represent the unit of isolation for distinct applications & services in our software ecosystem, providing security benefits and operational autonomy for our teams as we scale. Managing accounts at this scale requires strong DevOps practices to maintain security, operational sanity, and uniform observability across the system. In this talk, we’ll cover the benefits of such an approach, the practices that make it possible, and the important role Datadog plays.

Monitor Mobile Vitals with Datadog

After you release an Android application, you need to ensure a smooth, engaging experience for users. Poor performance and heavy resource consumption can cause your application to rank lower for prospective users in the Google Play Store, and existing users can become frustrated and even uninstall your application. All of this can spell trouble for business-related performance indicators like engagement and discoverability.

Generate span-based metrics to track historical trends in application performance

Tracing has become essential for monitoring today’s increasingly distributed architectures. But complex production applications produce an extremely high volume of traces, which are prohibitively expensive to store and nearly impossible to sift through in time-sensitive situations. Most traditional tracing solutions address these operational challenges by making sampling decisions before a request even begins its path through your system (i.e., head-based sampling).

Run UDP and WebSocket API tests to monitor latency-critical applications

Datadog Synthetic Monitoring allows you to proactively monitor your applications so that you can detect, troubleshoot, and resolve any availability or performance issues before they impact your end users. With our API test suite, you can send simulated HTTP requests to your API endpoints, check the validity of SSL certificates, verify the performance and correctness of DNS resolutions, test TCP connections, and ping endpoints to detect server connectivity issues.
