We’ve launched RUM Recommendations to pinpoint user friction, Automated Analysis to interpret profiling data in real time, and one-click recommendations for significantly improving test reliability in CI pipelines. We’ve also made it easier than ever to manage costs for your Datadog services, in addition to your infrastructure.
Learn how these updates—plus new capabilities for Product Analytics, the Software Catalog, and more—enable teams to detect and resolve issues faster. Then, check out our keynote roundup for other major announcements, including:
When application performance degrades, identifying the root cause often means embarking on the tedious, time-consuming process of guessing which tags might be relevant and grouping traces manually. Datadog Tag Analysis removes this friction by automatically identifying the tags that are most strongly correlated with latency spikes or errors. It generates a ranked list of statistically significant attributes, showing how each tag’s values differ between affected spans and baseline performance. These insights help you quickly understand what distinguishes anomalous behavior, such as a slowdown tied to a new service version or issues concentrated in a specific region. Instead of relying on intuition or cycling through tag combinations manually, you get a clear, data-driven view into what’s driving the problem so you can investigate with focus and resolve issues faster. Learn more in our blog post.
Delivering fast, reliable frontend experiences starts with knowing where problems are and so where to focus optimization efforts. Datadog RUM Recommendations helps teams proactively detect and resolve performance and usability issues by analyzing each view of your application and surfacing signs of user friction, such as slow load times or frustration clicks.
Datadog prioritizes recommendations by user impact and includes suggested code changes, enabling teams to address the most pressing issues quickly and effectively.
RUM Recommendations is now in Preview. Sign up for the Preview or learn more in our documentation.
Powered by Continuous Profiler, Automated Analysis continuously monitors your applications and surfaces critical issues in real time along with actionable insights to guide resolution, helping teams detect and troubleshoot problems faster without requiring deep expertise in code profiling.
When Datadog identifies a problem, Automated Analysis provides a clear summary of the issue, explains why it matters, and highlights relevant profiling data such as the affected methods, packages, or processes. It also recommends next steps to help your team take action immediately. By connecting low-level performance data to clear, developer-friendly guidance, Automated Analysis makes it easier to improve service health and reduce time to resolution. Request access to the Preview here, or see our documentation for more information.
Query regressions, also known as unintended increases in query duration, can lead to delayed page loads, stalled analytics workloads, and system outages. Datadog Database Monitoring (DBM) now helps your teams proactively detect query regressions as they happen. By establishing historical baselines and using anomaly detection, Datadog DBM identifies performance regressions in your most commonly used queries and automatically runs through a set of diagnostics to help you quickly identify and resolve your issues. To learn more, check out our blog post.
Alert storms can quickly overwhelm operations and development teams, especially when alerts are triggered across many related system assets. Now, teams can better navigate complex alert storms by using Topological Correlation in Datadog Event Management. By using imported system relationships, Topological Correlation intelligently groups alerts from dependent applications or infrastructure—for example, a cascade of application errors caused by a single server outage—into a consolidated case. This unified approach to triage reduces alert fatigue and accelerates incident resolution by orienting the team with a single work item that captures the complete breadth of the issue at hand. Topological Correlation is now available in Preview; you can contact your Customer Success representative to get started.
To understand any aspect of user behavior—from adoption and conversion rates to usage patterns and flows—you need to ground your insights in real user data. With Datadog Product Analytics, you can easily dig into user data from across your application and tailor your analyses based on the scope of your projects. You can visualize data on user engagement and interactions through a variety of features, including Heatmaps, Pathways, and Session Replay, helping you quickly assess your UX from multiple angles. Product Analytics is now generally available—to learn more, check out our blog post.
FinOps practitioners struggle to create an organization-wide culture of cost ownership due to the challenge of putting budgets in front of teams and collaborating with engineers on anomalies that may be taking them over budget. With budgets in Cloud Cost Management, FinOps teams can create budgets across cloud and SaaS providers, and engineering teams can see how they’re tracking against budget throughout the month or year. Machine learning-powered anomaly detection informs FinOps and engineering teams of unexpected cost changes across their accounts, especially anomalies taking them over budget, and makes it easy for FinOps to reach out to the specific teams or services causing the change. To learn more, check out our documentation.

Databricks serverless compute offers faster startup times and simplified infrastructure management for Databricks workloads, driving widespread adoption among teams looking to improve performance and reduce costs. Unlike traditional clusters that require host-level monitoring, serverless workloads demand observability focused on job-level performance, efficiency, and cost. Datadog now supports monitoring for Databricks serverless jobs—including serverless SQL warehouses—directly within Data Jobs Monitoring (DJM). This lets teams track latency, errors, and usage trends across both serverless and cluster-based jobs in one unified view, helping them optimize processing pipelines without sacrificing visibility. To learn more, check out our dedicated blog post.
Visibility into network health for workloads running on serverless platforms like ECS Fargate can be challenging, since your team does not manage the associated infrastructure. Datadog Cloud Network Monitoring (CNM) now supports ECS Fargate tasks, enabling you to collect all the valuable network metrics between these tasks, as well as from Fargate to any other entity, such as domains, hosts, or services. With network metrics like failed TCP connection count, retransmits, and latency, you can easily identify if the network is at fault between your Fargate tasks. See our documentation to get started.
OpenTelemetry (OTel) provides a standardized, open source framework for collecting and exporting telemetry data—such as traces, metrics, and logs—in a vendor-neutral format across distributed systems. The Datadog Distribution of the OTel Collector (DDOT Collector) combines OTel’s flexibility with Datadog’s advanced observability, security, and automation features directly into the Datadog Agent. With support for native OTLP configurations, the DDOT Collector allows users to easily process telemetry data and extend observability capabilities with custom OTel components. The DDOT Collector simplifies operational overhead, enabling scalable management and fast issue resolution within Datadog’s monitoring ecosystem. Learn more by reading our blog post and visiting our documentation.
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is emerging as the industry standard for collecting and transmitting observability data. Datadog supports several ways to send and accept OTel-native data, while also continuing to support its own native telemetry format. To provide a consistent monitoring experience, Datadog now supports using OTel-native metrics right alongside Datadog-native metrics across dashboards, queries, and core visualizations in Datadog. You can now view OTel-native metrics in out-of-the-box (OOTB) Datadog integration dashboards with no additional configuration, and easily write your own queries to monitor across Datadog and OTel data.
This results in a unified observability experience whether you’re sending data via OpenTelemetry, the Datadog Agent, or a combination of both, and gives teams the flexibility to adopt OTel at their own pace without disrupting existing monitoring workflows.

When trying to optimize costs in large and complex environments, it can be challenging to find which areas of infrastructure are owned by your team. Incomplete tagging and shared infrastructure can make it difficult to figure out which team owns which resources. To help solve this, Datadog is announcing Cloud Cost Recommendations on the Cloudcraft infrastructure diagram. Because the Cloudcraft diagram shows related infrastructure grouped together in VPCs, subnets, and security groups, it’s easy to find untagged or unowned infrastructure savings related to a team, service, or cost center by viewing nearby infrastructure on the diagram. To learn more, check out our documentation.
Cost allocation is fundamental to FinOps, but many organizations struggle to get accurate showback or chargeback because shared services like databases and networking don’t come with clear ownership. Datadog Cloud Cost Management (CCM) now enables you to define custom allocation rules to attribute shared costs to the correct business dimensions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This includes a custom allocation, where you split shared or unallocated costs by custom percentages. This enables FinOps practitioners to break up shared costs that were previously unattributable or difficult to tag on the underlying infrastructure. To learn more, check out our documentation.
The Wildcard widget enables you to code custom Vega-Lite visualizations directly in Datadog dashboards and notebooks.

Instead of sifting through a flood of alerts, teams can focus on what really matters: the most critical errors and their full impact. By surfacing upstream and downstream relationships, this feature accelerates root cause analysis and reduces time to resolution. It’s a powerful step toward faster debugging, smarter collaboration, and clearer visibility across your stack. Sign up for the Preview.
Flaky tests slow teams down and erode trust in CI. With the new Test Health dashboard, you can now quantify exactly how these failures impact your pipelines, from the number of failed pipelines to the hours of CI time lost. You’ll also see how much your test optimization efforts are helping, including pipelines saved and CI time recovered.
Test Health will also begin surfacing high-impact recommendations, which are targeted, data-driven suggestions tied to specific repos. Each recommendation estimates the failure reduction and CI time saved by enabling certain features, with clear before/after projections.
Recommendations are easy to act on—just a single click to enable—improving the reliability and efficiency of your testing automatically. View the Test Health dashboard and recommendations in the app. See our documentation for more information.
The new Flaky Test Management page gives you a centralized view to track, triage, and remediate flaky tests across your entire organization. From a single interface, you can see every test’s status—Active, Quarantined, Disabled, or Fixed—along with key impact metrics like failure rate, pipeline failures, and CI time wasted.
Use Quarantine to isolate flaky tests without blocking merges; tests still run in the background, but failures no longer break pipelines. Use Disable to skip problematic tests entirely. Both workflows help reduce CI noise while retaining traceability and control.
Configure flaky test policies that govern how tests move through the lifecycle. For example, a test that flakes in the default branch can automatically be quarantined, and later disabled if it remains unfixed after 30 days. Create cases and JIRA tickets for flaky tests to track work towards fixing them. Flaky Test Management is now in Preview. To request access, fill out the Preview form.
Bulk remote instrumentation for AWS Lambdas helps teams instrument a bulk of their Lambda functions directly from Datadog. This ensures that these functions stay instrumented, so features like enhanced metrics, traces, and error tracking can easily be added. Teams can quickly add tracing to serverless applications without redeploying code, reducing the time developers spend manually instrumenting individual functions and enabling them to apply instrumentation in real time.
With bulk remote instrumentation, central operations and observability teams can ensure that critical serverless applications are covered without needing to coordinate with every application or service owner. During major incidents or periods of peak traffic, teams can add tracing to Lambda functions that were not instrumented during development, giving them the visibility needed to investigate and resolve issues quickly.
To learn more about serverless monitoring for AWS Lambda, see our documentation and you can sign up for the Preview of bulk remote Lambda instrumentation.
Monitor notification rules let you centralize alert routing logic, eliminating the need to specify recipients in individual monitor descriptions. Define rules that match monitor or group tags (such as team:payments, env:prod, and more), and Datadog automatically delivers notifications to the correct email, Slack channel, or on-call rotation. Because routing resides in one place, you can roll out new monitors without extra configuration, making it effortless to scale alerting. Teams can keep monitor definitions clean, enforce organizational policy, and ensure that no critical signal slips through the cracks. To learn more, check out our blog post and documentation.
