Datadog

Using Datadog to guarantee bug-free software

Comentários: It's an intuitive program that provides users with comprehensive records of all recent actions. Displays success or failure of the process. If the attempt fails, identify the faulty stage. It explains everything from beginning to conclusion.

Vantagens:

All of Datadog's basic building blocks are top-notch. Their data ingestion is lightning fast and (usually) dependable, their graph widget is adaptable and usable in a wide variety of contexts, and they have a good track record of introducing products that combine these features.

Desvantagens:

Our experiences with Datadog support have been continuously negative; the company goes out of its way to avoid direct communication and offers irrelevant answers.

Effective Monitoring Solution

Comentários: Overall, Datadog gets the job done. Through APM, tracing, infrastucture metrics and log explorer, I’m able to triage my incidents effectively. The Watchdog product is also super convenient. Its able to general catch issues/changes that may impact your business. Its very useful especially when/if you’re missing some alerts that were not accounted for.

Vantagens:

The UI and UX is intuitive for the most part.

Desvantagens:

Depending on the product being used, UI can be alittle overwhelming and complex.

Reliable Monitoring for Backend Systems

Comentários: Datadog has made backend monitoring and debugging much smoother for me. The ability to correlate logs, traces, and metrics in one place helps speed up root cause analysis. While there’s a bit of a learning curve initially, once set up, it becomes an essential part of the workflow.

Vantagens:

As a backend developer, I find Datadog extremely useful for monitoring logs, metrics, and traces in real time. It integrates well with most tools and services we use, making it easy to identify bottlenecks or errors. The dashboards are highly customizable, which helps with specific backend performance tracking.

Desvantagens:

The pricing becomes expensive as usage scales, especially for log ingestion. Some of the advanced configurations, like setting up alerts for specific backend metrics, can take some time to figure out.

Great tool for observability if you invest time in learning and setting it up

Vantagens:

Works very nice when you need to collect logs from multiple different platforms/environments. Good monitoring/alerting capabilities.

As a large tool it has its own learning path. Takes some time to learn different concepts, but well worth time investment

Datadog is also AI capable, There is a feature called Datadog Insight which can easily detect any error in the system.

Datadog is a fairly new application, Learning advanced features we are not able to find much documentation and learning on the internet. It also stores limited historical data and licensing is fairly high compared to similar monitoring platforms.

Has A Great Features, But Keep an Eye on the Bill!

Vantagens:

It is awesome for monitoring everything - I mostly used it for apps and servers. It is easy to use, customizes dashboards, and plays well with other tools. Real-time insights are a big help. It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the peace of mind it brings.

Desvantagens:

It can get a tad pricey when you scale up. Plus, the learning curve can be a bit steep for beginners. And, the free tier isn't as generous as some others out there. It used a lot of my computer's memory.
