2025-05-01 –, Inspiration A/B (track sponsored by Aikido Security)
In 2023 Datadog launched a program to increase ARM adoption and optimize the cost efficiency of our production workloads. During this process we came up with various KPIs that we used to track and measure the success of this program. The features of our process included a five step guide for engineering teams to migrate their workloads to ARM, improved documentation and communications, and executive sponsorship.
In this talk we’ll go over the lessons learned in our program, how we implemented our solutions, what worked and what didn’t and more importantly how we reduced barriers to help enable cost optimization at scale.
