Datadog
Upcoming Datadog Events
Purpose-built AI agents are transforming how engineering teams develop, operate, and secure modern applications. Built for developer, SRE, and security workflows, these ready to deploy agents leverage organizational knowledge and production telemetry to accelerate software development and automate operations.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the latest purpose-built AI capabilities from Datadog and AWS and use the AWS Well-Architected Framework to evaluate where they fit within modern cloud architectures. We’ll discuss how these agents contribute to Operational Excellence, Reliability, Security, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization, and what organizations should consider when adopting AI agents.
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating and adopting purpose-built AI agents, including Bits Investigation, Bits Security Analyst, AWS Transform and others, within their cloud architecture and engineering workflows.
Datadog Live is heading to Louisville, Kentucky! Get ready to dive deep into the world of observability alongside industry leaders and fellow tech innovators.

Connect and Collaborate: Wrap up the day with a signature tour with Angel’s Envy and a bourbon tasting. Where you'll meet industry peers, exchange ideas, and expand your network.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is the result of treating operations as a software problem. Infrastructure can fail! Deployments can have bugs! How do we accept these facts of life and still deliver high availability services at global scale? At Google Cloud, SRE was developed exactly for that.
Experts from Datadog and Google Cloud will help your teams understand the SRE, what technologies and principles underpins SRE, how to measure changes to your platform, and provide a place to get started in building those capabilities of your platform.
We will cover:
- Fundamentals of SRE and resilience in Cloud.
- Development of SLOs with proper CUJs and SLIs.
- Architectures and deployment Archetypes, how to deploy quickly and stay stable.
- A lab environment in Datadog to practice these capabilities after the workshop.
- Getting started with SRE in an Enterprise - Do and Don’ts.
Hear how Thomson Reuters uses observability to monitor complex, distributed workloads—from cloud infrastructure to adjacent systems—and how you can apply the same principles in your own environment.
This event is designed for hands-on engineers, SREs, platform teams, and engineering leaders who want real-world insight.
You’ll walk away with:
- Practical observability patterns used by Thomson Reuters
- Architecture lessons for scaling monitoring across cloud-native and hybrid environments
- Actionable takeaways you can apply immediately to improve reliability, performance, and incident response
After the panel attendees will get an opportunitiy to participate in a 30 minute guided tour of the Star.

Events We Are Sponsoring
Government services and higher education institutions depend on far more than applications.
Networks, databases, cloud infrastructure and AI-powered systems all have to work together — and when something fails, IT teams need to pinpoint the problem quickly. Relying on disconnected monitoring tools makes that increasingly difficult. Particularly in the age of AI applications, organizations need a better way to track performance and detect issues efficiently.
This webinar explores why site reliability has become a mission-wide responsibility. You'll learn how agencies, colleges and universities can use a unified observability approach to reduce alert fatigue, accelerate troubleshooting and gain end-to-end visibility across their technology environments. Whether you're modernizing infrastructure or supporting increasingly complex environments, this session will provide practical strategies for building more resilient operations and keeping mission-critical systems running.
Why attend:
- Learn how unified observability helps pinpoint issues faster across applications, infrastructure, networks, databases and cloud environments
- See why AI observability matters for monitoring AI applications, detecting anomalies, controlling costs and maintaining operational confidence
- Discover how a platform approach reduces operational complexity while helping IT teams strengthen reliability and minimize downtime

As threats grow more complex, the 2026 summit focuses on how technology and cross-agency collaboration can strengthen detection, enforcement, and trade facilitation, across ports of entry and beyond. Taking place this September in San Diego, the event will showcase the strategies, capabilities, and partnerships defining modern border operations.
What sets 2026 apart: Expanded international perspectives, deeper focus on countering transnational criminal networks, cybersecurity and digital transformation initiatives across DHS border agencies, and insights into CBP operational priorities, and greater integration across air, land, and maritime domains.
Join two days of high-level discussion, real-world case studies, and actionable insights, designed to help you stay ahead of evolving threats and deliver operational impact.
Government, industry and academia are actively using new or modifying existing digital technologies to assist with changes, improvements, and efficiencies in operation of the business processes, meet customer demands, utilize automation to reduce many manual work processes while improving productivity, and enable these tools to reach a wider audience by reducing geographic barriers. Digital Transformation can improve operational efficiencies, provide more agility and flexibility in day-to-day activities, enable opportunities to grow and expand, and provide new value, satisfaction, and benefit for not only the staff but also the customers and shareholders. Many have dubbed "Digital Transformation as Reimagining How we do Business”.
Digital Transformation needs strong leadership with a clear vision and the willing support of staff to make the needed transition. Another key element of Digital Transformation is understanding what technology is capable of doing and how an agency or organization can make the most use of that technology investment.
This Summit will focus on where Digital Transformation is today, how it has been used to transition to new innovative technologies, and how it has improved overall performance. This event will also include an international element to hear how other countries have utilized digital technologies successfully.
Join national leaders, innovators, and security experts for a dynamic summit exploring the evolving intersection of cybersecurity, advanced technologies, and public service. As threats grow more complex and missions become increasingly digital, this summit will spotlight how modern governments can adapt and thrive.
This high-impact event will bring together voices from across federal, state, and local agencies – as well as unconventional private-sector partners – to address the critical challenges and breakthrough solutions shaping the future of secure governance.
This summit is not just about defense – it's about reimagining the architecture of trust, identity, and technology in the modern era of governance.
