In the September episode of "This Month in Datadog," the focus is on new features and updates designed to enhance software development and network troubleshooting. The episode highlights tools like Datadog Feature Flags, which integrate flagging with observability for safer feature releases, and Datadog Network Path, which provides a clear visualization of network traffic to simplify the diagnosis of slowdowns. It also introduces Cloud Cost Management's integration with the Anthropic Usage and Cost Admin API, enabling teams to track Claude usage and costs efficiently. Additionally, the new Custom Processor in Observability Pipelines facilitates the migration of historical logs while maintaining cost control across various log formats. Other updates include enhanced debugging for failing pipelines, cloud cost recommendations for Azure and Google Cloud, and improved visibility into security risks with Cloudcraft and certificate chain issues via Windows Certificate Store integration. The episode encourages viewers to explore these features through blog posts and the Datadog platform, with an invitation to subscribe for future updates.
