How to Run a Canary Analysis with Kayenta

Kayenta is an open source tool developed by Netflix that performs automated canary analysis, allowing developers to compare metrics from a new version of an application or service with the previous version to determine if changes have introduced any issues. To automate this process, Kayenta needs to be configured to know where to store results and which type of metrics to collect, and must be integrated with a data analytics platform such as Datadog. Once set up, Kayenta can be used to run canary analyses, allowing developers to test new versions of their application or service in a controlled environment before deploying it to the entire infrastructure.
