The Datadog Summit was held in Seattle last month, where the community discussed new developments in monitoring dynamic infrastructure and applications. The summit included technical talks, hands-on workshops, and Q&A sessions on various topics such as APM and distributed tracing, advances in log management, deploying new features without anxiety, application-level metrics, and achieving performance wins with Datadog. Product managers from Datadog announced exciting additions to the platform's APM and distributed tracing offerings, including support for new languages and a brand-new runtime metrics feature. The summit also featured talks on how to make deploys less scary, using strategies and tools like feature flags and dark launches, and how application-level metrics remain important even as infrastructure technologies evolve.
