Course details

As systems are built— especially in this age of distributed systems and microservices— observability has become key to understanding and building reliable and highly available systems. Cloud infrastructure and microservices require so many dependencies to be functional, so it’s important to keep an eye on these different parts that keep our services up and running. In this course, Ibukun Itimi explains how to use Datadog to gain visibility into your systems to build more reliable services and infrastructure. Ibukun explains the basics of the concepts of observability infrastructure monitoring, and application performance monitoring. She covers the basics of Datadog features, including how to analyze and understand logs, create custom metrics with logs, build dashboards, set up monitors, and more.

    Love the course - just wish more focused would be on the hands-on material - but I understand it would be much longer then.
