  • The Business Value of Continuous Delivery

    The Business Value of Continuous Delivery

    Continuous delivery allows you to deliver new software and update existing software faster, with lower risk. Reducing risk is important, but the processes that underpin continuous delivery translate into even more important values to the business: Accelerate time-to-value, Data-driven decision making, Quality, Experimentation = innovation, and Reduce cost. Together these values make continuous delivery a real game-changer for business.

    While adoption can begin and be proven at a team/project level, the nature of continuous delivery is that it crosses organizational boundaries in ways that require a real investment and top-down commitment. Choosing a continuous delivery tool chain that complements and coexists with your existing investments is a key step toward success.

  • Monitoring In the Cloud

    Monitoring In the Cloud

    In the 10 years since Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering cloud computing services to the world, the nature of IT infrastructure has changed dramatically.

    The cloud has transformed the economics of infrastructure, essentially crumbling the barrier to entry for building applications on world-class technology. It has brought about a fundamental change on the operations side as well: the effortless scaling made possible by the cloud means that the typical organization’s infrastructure is always in flux. The nature of the cloud has elevated the need for new methods and new tools for monitoring an infrastructure of constantly changing, often short-lived components.

    In this eBook, we will outline an effective framework for monitoring modern infrastructure and applications, however large or dynamic they may be.

  • Monitoring Modern Infrastructure

    Monitoring Modern Infrastructure

    In the past several years, the nature of IT infrastructure has changed dramatically. Countless organizations have migrated away from traditional use of data centers to take advantage of the agility and scalability afforded by public and private cloud infrastructure. For new organizations, architecting applications for the cloud is now the default.

    The cloud has effectively knocked down the logistical and economic barriers to accessing production-ready infrastructure. Any organization or individual can now harness the same technologies powering some of the biggest companies in the world.

    The shift toward the cloud has brought about a fundamental change on the operations side as well. We are now in an era of dynamic, constantly changing infrastructure that requires new monitoring tools and methods.

  • Hybrid Cloud Monitoring

    Hybrid Cloud Monitoring

    Adopting a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architecture allows organizations to improve resilience and maintain control over their applications and data. But it can also create blind spots, as teams have to rely on separate legacy tools or cloud-provider consoles to get visibility into each environment individually. Datadog unifies metrics, traces, logs, network performance data, and more from on-premises data centers and all major public or private cloud platforms. With comprehensive hybrid cloud monitoring, teams can collaborate without friction and troubleshoot faster.
