Summary

AWS Fargate allows users to run applications in Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) without managing the underlying infrastructure. Datadog has integrated with Fargate, enabling real-time monitoring of containerized tasks, including CPU and memory utilization, network performance, and code-level performance data. The integration also supports Autodiscovery, which automatically detects and configures checks for containers running on Fargate. Additionally, Datadog provides native support for FireLens, allowing seamless routing of container logs to the platform. With Fargate, users can focus on services and applications rather than underlying infrastructure, gaining full visibility into application health and performance alongside other infrastructure components.
