Having difficulties understanding what and when to log? The pattern of one-per-service logging is worth investigating. In this article we cover what they are and how to use them.

We used performance testing to check our new webhook functionality worked at scale for our services. Find out what we learned.

Our latest report examines more than 1.5 billion containers run by tens of thousands of Datadog customers to understand the state of the container ecosystem.

There are many different ways to implement Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). From team structures to roles and responsibilities to planning and prioritizat...

This page describes how kubelet managed Containers can use the Container lifecycle hook framework to run code triggered by events during their management lifecycle. Overview Analogous to many programming language frameworks that have component lifecycle hooks, such as Angular, Kubernetes provides Containers with lifecycle hooks. The hooks enable Containers to be aware of events in their management lifecycle and run code implemented in a handler when the corresponding lifecycle hook is executed.

Meet the powerful analytic for performance-based SLOs. This talk starts with the fact that most teaching SLO discussions focus on using an internal, non-cumulative endpoint (e.g. how many successful GET requests to /API) to illustrate SLO concepts. And arriving at the fact that when it comes to setting SLO for cumulative endpoints (e.g. an app or page consisting of many, distributed requests), determining the number of nines for this objective must be accordingly adjusted to account. In other words, three or four nines may be acceptable for /API. But three or four nines for an experience-based (cumulative) endpoint is not practical. In this session, will discuss the various adjustments needed for experience-based (cumulative) endpoints through both an availability and performance lens. Will further expand on the performance lens and discuss semi-advanced distribution functions for analyzing them – with the ultimate goal being reliable, resilient experiences to better serve self, team, and business.

In this talk we walk through our SLO definition workshop, a facilitated session that we used at IAG as an experiment to help teams embed customer focus. We talk openly about what did and did not work, and the experimentation and adjustments we made along the way.=

The SRE pyramid was created by Mikey Dickerson to represent the different hierarchy of service reliability. We explore the 7 principles of the SRE pyramid.
