📅 19:45 - How Zendesk Put Reliability First When Scaling Its AI Agents Team (30 min.)
🎙️Speaker: Tiago Araújo, Engineering Manager @ Zendesk

When Zendesk acquired Ultimate, the team became Zendesk’s AI Agents team and continued operating with much of the autonomy that had made it successful as an independent company. But as the team adapted to Zendesk’s scale, reliability expectations changed. To meet Zendesk’s SLA commitments, teams needed to identify the root cause in two minutes on average, and the existing observability posture was not built for that level of operational rigor.
In this session, Tiago Araújo, Engineering Manager, will share how Zendesk brought the AI Agents team back in line with its reliability goals without compromising engineering velocity. They’ll explain what changed when the team adopted Zendesk’s engineering best practices, how stronger observability helped engineers move faster and more safely, and why reliability became a key part of scaling the team after the acquisition.
Attendees will leave with practical lessons for onboarding acquired or newly integrated engineering teams with reliability in mind. You’ll learn how to make observability part of the onboarding process, reduce time to root cause, and help teams ship quickly without putting SLA commitments at risk

📅 19:45 - AI Agent Monitoring in Practice (30 min.)
🎙️Speaker: Hassan Talbi, Senior DevOps Engineer @ Exxeta

Agents in production fail. They burn tokens. Some leak PII. You usually find out too late. In this demo we look at how Datadog shows what your agents actually do: traces, tool calls, and what runs in the background.
Live, we monitor Claude Code, Cursor, and n8n agents, and dive into traces, costs, evaluations and more.

📅 19:45 - Where Did My Memory Go? Bringing Native Memory Profiling to OpenTelemetry (30 min.)
🎙️Speaker: Scott Gerring, Senior Technical Advocate @ Datadog

Modern profiling has moved beyond occasional CPU snapshots toward continuously showing how applications use resources. Memory can still be a major blind spot: profilers for languages such as Python or Java often cannot see memory used inside the native libraries they call, while languages without built-in profilers may offer no detail at all. In this talk, we’ll show how, in collaboration with the OpenTelemetry community, we are working on extending the OpenTelemetry eBPF profiler to reveal which code paths are responsible for native memory usage. We’ll follow a memory event through the profiler into Datadog, explore how this information can help diagnose unexplained memory growth, and dive into the engineering challenges of collecting it with low enough overhead for continuous use.
