Datadog co-founder and CTO Alexis Lê-Quôc kicked off the conference by explaining the driving forces behind Datadog's new features, which aim to help users eliminate blind spots, get helpful context for troubleshooting, and seamlessly surface insights that would otherwise go unnoticed. The company also partnered with several customers to design and develop expansions to its monitoring platform, including new features such as Metrics without Limits, Tracing without Limits, Network Performance Monitoring, Metrics from Logs and Log Rehydration, and SLO Manager. These new features were announced during the conference, which featured a wide range of breakout sessions and hands-on workshops on topics such as serverless migrations, observability challenges, and Kubernetes deep dives. The event was attended by members of the Datadog community, including customers from organizations like Capital One, Hulu, and Thomson Reuters, who shared their experiences with the company's products and features.
