Keynote

Data sovereignty is crucial for businesses today, driven by government regulations and increasing customer demand for control over their online privacy and information. To better serve our Australian customers, Datadog recently opened our AP2 datacenter in Australia.

Join Mitch Ward, Director of Engineering for High Performance Transaction Systems, as he provides an exclusive look into the creation of Datadog AP2. He'll share insights into the complexities of building and managing large-scale, highly reliable datacenters across the globe. Mitch will also reveal the system management processes Datadog has developed, offering valuable takeaways that can help you manage your own infrastructure with greater reliability and ease, regardless of its size.

Datadog is constantly innovating. Hear about the latest updates to the tools you use, our newest product releases that extend the Datadog platform, and what’s on the horizon.

Balancing sustainability with business needs can often feel like a trade-off. Culture Amp proved it doesn't have to be: by strategically adopting Arm architecture, marketplace instances, and optimizing asynchronous workloads, they slashed data center emissions by 49% and cloud costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars in just six months. Artem Yakimenko (Engineering Director, SRE) will share how their engineering team achieved these impressive results using simple optimization techniques, Datadog, and other tools. Discover how you can unlock similar wins within your own organization, turning environmental responsibility into a tangible business advantage.

Keeping tabs on cloud spending across multiple organizations and vendors, including Datadog, can be tough and costly. If you're not tracking expenses, you're also missing other critical insights.

The Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) faced this when moving to Datadog, needing to monitor costs across numerous organizations and over 180 Azure subscriptions. After a rapid migration, new cost reports quickly revealed more than just financial benefits. Unusual spending patterns often highlighted incidents, bugs, or security issues, offering early warnings about internal system problems.

Join Geoff Jubb, FCTG's Platform Engineering Operations Group lead, to learn how you can incorporate costs into your observability and get earlier alerts on any operational anomalies.

Technology moves quickly and while the spotlight has shifted to dynamic, cloud-based systems, many organizations have legacy applications and infrastructure that they must maintain. In this fireside chat, Datadog’s Matt Moore (Principal Observability Strategist) will host James Flores (Enterprise Systems Engineer) at Australian Community Media to discuss their journey of modernization and bridging legacy systems with the cloud using a bit of ingenuity and observability.
