This Month in Datadog - July 2026
Blog post from Datadog
July’s This Month in Datadog highlights conversations about safely evaluating AI-generated code, testing nondeterministic agent behavior, and using natural language through Bits Chat to search, understand, and act on Datadog data. Key preview releases include Bits Release, which validates code changes from pull requests through production rollout, Bits Testing, which autonomously identifies user journeys and creates synthetic test suites, and Bits Memories, which retains team knowledge for use during investigations. Other updates include Bits Live Debugger for runtime code-level data, Datadog Apps for internal applications created by AI agents, RUM support for C and C++ applications, remote RUM configuration through the Datadog MCP Server, and phone-number detection in logs through Sensitive Data Scanner.
