Logs provide a wealth of information that is invaluable for use cases like root cause analysis and audits. However, you typically don’t need to view the granular details of every log, particularly in dynamic environments that generate large volumes of them. Instead, it’s generally more useful to perform analytics on your logs in aggregate.

Understanding how your users experience your application is critical—downtime, broken features, and slow page loads can lead to customer churn and lost revenue. Last year, we introduced Datadog Browser Tests, which enable you to simulate key user journeys and validate that users are able to complete business-critical transactions.

RethinkDB is a document-oriented database that enables clients to listen for updates in real time using streams called changefeeds. RethinkDB was built for easy sharding and replication, and its query language integrates with popular programming languages, with no need for clients to parse commands from strings. The open source project began in 2012, and joined the Linux Foundation in 2017.

Creating security policies for the devices connected to your network is critical to ensuring that company data is safe. This is especially true as companies adopt a bring-your-own-device model and allow more personal phones, tablets, and laptops to connect to internal services. These devices, or endpoints, introduce unique vulnerabilities that can expose sensitive data if they are not monitored.

Datadog’s AWS integration brings you deep visibility into key AWS services like EC2 and Lambda. We’re excited to announce that we’ve simplified the process for installing the AWS integration. If you’re not already monitoring AWS with Datadog, or if you need to monitor additional AWS accounts, our 1-click integration lets you get started in minutes.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services for deploying, managing, and monitoring applications. A critical part of deploying reliable applications is securing your infrastructure. Google Cloud Audit Logs record the who, where, and when for activity within your environment, providing a breadcrumb trail that administrators can use to monitor access and detect potential threats across your resources (e.g., storage buckets, databases, service accounts, virtual machines).
