Summary

Eventarc is a Google Cloud offering that simplifies the creation of event-driven workflows by automatically handling event ingestion, delivery, authorization, and error handling. The new Datadog source in Eventarc allows users to configure any Datadog monitor to trigger Eventarc-driven workflows, which can be used for auto-remediation, incident response, and analytics. With this integration, teams can automate incident response by kicking off complex workflows that perform tasks such as notifying responders and executing custom Cloud Functions. The integration also enables the collection of contextual data, such as metrics and logs, to help on-call engineers minimize context switching and reduce their mean time to resolve (MTTR). Additionally, it allows for alerting analytics, enabling users to surface historical trends and gain insights into the overall health and performance of their services. The Eventarc and Datadog integration is now available in a public preview for GCP customers, with detailed tutorials and a free trial available for new users.
