Full-stack observability with Datadog APM
Speaker: Aaditya Talwai (Datadog)
Traditionally, APM and infrastructure monitoring have been provided by separate tools. With the release of Datadog APM, developers and operators now have a combined set of tools that provide visibility into their entire stack from cloud components to distributed tracing of custom applications. Join Aaditya Talwai for deep dive into distributed tracing with Datadog APM.

Metrics powered continuous deployment at PagerDuty
Speaker: Mia Henderson (PagerDuty)
PagerDuty has multiple services that are Continuously Deployed, including canary testing and other staged rollouts. With all of this change, ensuring our notification pipeline remains available to our customers is critical. This session will go over how we leverage Datadog metrics to enable individual developers, working across multiple services and codebases, to safely and rapidly make changes to our service. Example code will be provided / toolchains used discussed.

Managing alerts at scale
Speaker: Stephen Boak (Datadog)
