Web Accessibility Monitoring: an Ops Team Guide

Web accessibility monitoring is the automated, scheduled scanning of a website for accessibility failures. Unlike a point-in-time audit, monitoring runs continuously. Code changes, content updates, and third-party scripts all introduce regressions. Monitoring catches them before they become complaints. This guide covers how it works, and where it fits in an ops stack.

AI in Insurance Claims Operations: Where Automation Delivers Real ROI

Traditional insurance claims operations are under immense pressure to change. What has shifted now is the margin for delayed results. Today's customers demand faster updates on claims, while insurers need more robust ways to detect sophisticated fraud patterns. The problem is, simply adding more people isn't a sustainable solution when teams are already dealing with complex documentation. Where most insurers rely on legacy systems that involve endless manual handoffs and document-heavy processes, the modern pace requires a change.

Ameet Talwalkar on Building the AI Research Lab

"We're doing cutting-edge AI, focused on real translational impact: getting our research over the wall and into production." Ameet Talwalkar, Datadog's Chief Scientist, shares what it took to build the AI Research Lab from the ground up — and what makes DAIR different from traditional research teams. At Datadog, research ships. Recent work from the lab includes Toto 2.0, open-weights time series forecasting models ranked on leading benchmarks, and ARFBench, a new benchmark for evaluating AI on real incident data.

Instant Java Client SDK, no spec required!

Learn how to generate a client SDK for a production service when you have no documentation, no OpenAPI spec, and no remaining team knowledge of the original Ruby code. This demo shows you how to capture real production data from a running app and transform it into a functional Java client library in minutes. Visit proxymock.io OR speedscale.com to learn more.

AI Might Break Open Source Differently Than You Think

AI coding agents may not replace open source libraries overnight. But Adam Arellano, Field CTO at Harness, thinks models like Mythos could expose a bigger problem: finding bugs, vulnerabilities, and edge cases faster than maintainers can keep up. That might be the real threat to tools and libraries.

Building a Defensible AI Compliance Framework

Organizations have moved past theoretical conversations about AI adoption. Models, agents, and autonomous workflows are entering production environments. Business leaders are optimistic about potential gains in efficiency, decision support, and operational scale. Yet beneath this momentum, compliance and risk teams feel a different pressure.

Run your first microbuild in 5 minutes

AI coding agents produce code faster than most teams can validate it. Without a validation step between the agent and CI, every problem gets caught after the push, and feedback arrives long after the agent has lost context. Agents need consistent feedback while they’re working so that small failures get fixed locally and CI stays focused on moving code into production.

Measure the real impact of AI coding tools on software delivery with Datadog AI Impact

Engineering teams have rapidly adopted AI coding tools, but organizations still struggle to understand their impact. Existing dashboards focus on activity, such as daily active users, acceptance rates, or lines of generated code, but these metrics don’t answer a more important question: Are teams actually shipping more, faster, and with fewer issues?

Your agent can't fix what it can't see

Agents are getting better and better at fixing bugs. They’re even getting better at testing their work, thanks to headless browsers, sandboxes, simulators, etc. But what about the bugs that only show up once you bring in different browsers, languages, extensions, internet speeds, and all the other variables that get mixed in the second you ship to prod? Or all the bugs that only show up when you account for… well, humans being humans and doing weird stuff you didn’t expect them to do?

Preview launch: the Agent Impact Leaderboard and the Business Impact & ROI Dashboard

The Agent Impact Leaderboard and the Business Impact & ROI Dashboard are live in preview inside GitKraken Insights today. We built them because the questions engineering leaders are getting asked about AI shifted faster than the tools to answer them. Here’s what shipped and how to get access.
