“Software Delivery Building Blocks at Datadog“ by Jacob LeGrone and Kevin Devroede (Datadog)

Over 900 engineers at Datadog do thousands of deployments per day, to hundreds of services in different environments, regions, and cloud providers. Embracing continuous delivery and automating operations is critical to scaling our teams.
To accommodate the diversity of the applications our engineers deploy, we needed to build a software delivery platform that could be extended to meet application-specific use cases, especially for teams deploying stateful applications.
In this talk we will discuss the primitives our software delivery platform exposes, the design decisions we made, and how teams extend the platform for their particular use cases. To illustrate, we will explore a case study of automating rollouts and common operational workflows of Apache Kafka on Kubernetes.
