Choosing to be attentive to others takes the sting out of frustrating everyday experiences.

Move the body, rest the mind.

I don't take notes. Forgetting the irrelevant stuff is a feature not a bug.

My team and I (at Datadog, Inc.) just had our first release of our first product (Continuous Profiler)! It was released at Dash 2020 (dashcon.io). Now in prod for Java, Go and Python with more languages being added over the next quarters. My precioussssss...

Lots of people have a no-asshole rule for who they hire. I have a no-no-asshole rule. On a range and spectrum of bad behaviors, it is arrogant and judgmental to think your definition is universal enough to label people. Identify and act on behaviors. Don't encourage labelling.

The new software delivery platform at Datadog, Inc. is powered by CNAB, which meets their goals of: Great user experience Future proof Auditability Check out the video. 👇🏽

Transferring a GiB of data across zones *within* a region is as expensive as storing it in S3 for a month, so I made a zone-aware DNS server. Just a small part of my new project, but AZ-aware networking could be a standalone product IMO. Kudos to Datadog NPM making this easy!

My next thing with Ryan Worl: WarpStream, a Kafka-compatible streaming system built on top of S3 with no stateful disks/nodes to run and 5-10x cheaper due to no cross-AZ bandwidth charges. Developer Preview is ready for self-serve sign-up, check it out! warpstream.com/blog/kafka-is-…

Wrote a blog post about how we built stateless load balancing into the inherently stateful Kafka protocol. Read til the end to see why we spelled PRoTocOL funny ;) warpstream.com/blog/hacking-t…

This is a thoroughly entertaining and educative talk from @mbpmilano

Talk on  Datadog’s Use of #tlaplus Modeling and Simulations

Great summary! I couldn’t make it, but Arun did a fantastic job representing our work. Here’s a link to the slides from the Datadog, Inc. talk. conf.tlapl.us/2024/ArunParth…

1/18 I'm incredibly excited to announce DuckDB in PostgreSQL in the latest version of ParadeDB. When we set to bring fast analytics to Postgres earlier this year, we did not expect the journey to take us here. Here's what happened 🧵

We're hosting a meetup for ApacheDataFusion on September 17 in NYC, w/ Andrew Lamb and /sesh/null. Office courtesy of Datadog, Inc. Come hang and catch a glimpse of the future of data infra lu.ma/2iwba0xm

A stellar week for enthusiasts of system design, formal methods, and simulation continues: How we use formal modeling, lightweight simulations, and chaos testing to design distributed systems by Datadog, Inc. Lots to read and re-read this weekend ❤️ x.com/DominikTornow/…

Kudos to the contributors behind ApacheDataFusion performance ascent to the top in Apache Parquet querying—a clear win for open, modular systems over closed, vertically integrated engines. Rust’s role here is profound: combining safety, performance, and modern design to push the

Interested in how we test our systems at Amazon? In Communications of the ACM, Ankush Desai and I write about the evolution of systems correctness and testing practices at AWS. We cover a mix of classic approaches, formal approaches, and new techniques like deterministic simulation.
