Cheering on coworkers: Building culture with Datadog dashboards

A colleague named Christian is participating in an intense 6-day running challenge where he aims to cover around 850km (528 miles). To monitor his progress, a Datadog dashboard was created using data scraped from the event website. The Python libraries Requests and BeautifulSoup were used for web scraping, while StatsD and the Datadog agent were employed to emit metrics. A dashboard displaying live video, gifs, and key metrics was built to support Christian during his challenge.
