Product updates: Datadog integration, lower function latency & more

Modal’s latest product updates introduce cloud region selection for regulatory, cost, and proximity needs, along with a Datadog integration that forwards application and audit logs and may later expand to OpenTelemetry support. The platform has refreshed its app details page with improved deployment observability and debugging tools, including time-range zooming, container-status views, and image filesystem exploration, while function-call infrastructure changes aim to increase throughput and reduce latency for real-time production workloads. Client updates add deployment tags, expanded local disk requests for functions, image entrypoint and shell configuration, queue management commands, standalone sandbox creation, and FastAPI documentation exposure for web endpoints. The announcement also highlights new resources covering GPU jobs with Airflow, CUDA use, AI and machine-learning migrations, sandbox workflows, Stable Diffusion fine-tuning, and cryptocurrency-mining detection.
