Harness Extends Continuous Verification To Datadog

Integrating Harness with Datadog allows for automated verification of cloud application and infrastructure performance across deployment pipelines, significantly reducing manual verification time from 60 minutes to 15 minutes and enabling automatic rollbacks in production deployments. Harness aids in mastering Continuous Delivery by enabling swift and confident deployment of new applications and services, while Datadog provides monitoring of cloud application performance. The integration facilitates automatic verification of performance across various deployment stages, from development to production, highlighting any performance regressions and allowing for quick remedial actions. A practical example of this integration shows a deployment pipeline where a new microservice version is verified at each stage; if a performance issue is detected, as was the case with a key web transaction regression, an automatic rollback is triggered. Harness employs unsupervised machine learning techniques to identify performance deviations, and the integration is easily configurable via the Datadog API. Future enhancements are anticipated to include additional features such as deployment markers for Datadog users and support for unstructured event data, further enhancing the capabilities of this integration.
