Just like shopping on Black Friday, AWS re:Invent has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition for some of us at Datadog. We were excited to join tens of thousands of fellow AWS users and partners for this annual gathering that features new product announcements, technical sessions, networking, and fun. This year, we saw three themes emerge from the conference announcements and sessions.

Whether you are a site reliability engineer, DevOps engineer, or application developer, you need visibility into the health and performance of every service you run or support. But in complex, dynamic environments, it can be difficult to ensure that all services are accounted for.

Embrace is a mobile application monitoring solution that helps you track and troubleshoot mobile app performance by combining data analytics, real user monitoring, network performance monitoring, and hardware monitoring in a single platform. We’re pleased to partner with Embrace to offer an out-of-the-box Embrace Datadog app and software license in the Datadog Marketplace.

Many organizations face complex regulatory requirements when it comes to monitoring the health and performance of their service and application infrastructure. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing a comprehensive monitoring solution for all customers, we’re pleased to announce that Datadog has achieved TISAX Assessment Level 2 (AL2) certification.

While cloud solutions can give you greater flexibility as you scale your infrastructure, limited visibility into resource utilization makes provisioning the right amount of compute resources challenging. To ensure that every workload is fully supported, many organizations may opt to over-provision, which leads to overspending. Or, in an attempt to maximize cost savings, organizations may under-provision, leaving workloads unsupported and risking serious performance impacts.

Reducing noise in your error logs is critical for quickly identifying bugs in your code and determining which to prioritize for remediation. To help you spot and investigate the issues causing error logs in your environments, we’re pleased to announce that Datadog Error Tracking is now available for Log Management in open beta.

AWS Lambda enables engineering teams to build modern, scalable services without the need to provision underlying infrastructure resources. But monitoring Lambda functions requires visibility into performance indicators that differ from those of traditional architectures—and cold starts are a key example.
