To address the knowledge gap in monitoring best practices among computer-science students, a partnership has been established between Datadog and GitHub's Student Developer Pack. This collaboration aims to provide students with a free Datadog Pro account for up to 10 hosts, offering them access to key features such as data storage, alerts, collaboration tools, and support from the Datadog Support Team. The goal is to eliminate the financial barrier to learning about monitoring and give students hands-on experience with modern monitoring tools.
