Summary

Datadog has introduced a new GitHub Action that enables teams to implement shift-left testing throughout their CI/CD pipeline, allowing them to prevent faulty code deployments from degrading the end-user experience. This action integrates with Datadog Synthetic Monitoring, enabling quick troubleshooting of failed tests within workflows and providing visibility into the health and performance of pipelines. By using this new GitHub Action, teams can easily monitor their GitHub Actions workflows in Datadog, troubleshoot problematic builds and stages, identify flaky tests, and gain valuable insights into pipeline health, ultimately saving time and ensuring smoother builds. The action is now available in the GitHub Marketplace for easy installation, making it simple to add Synthetic tests to existing or new GitHub workflows.
