**📅 18:35 - Dogfooding @ Datadog (45 min.)**
**🎙️**Speaker: Luca Pizzamiglio, Senior Software Engineer @ **[Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com/)**

Dogfooding is a practice especially popular in the software development industry. It means that a company fully tests its products first on itself, using them as end users would. Effectively, the company “eats its own dog food”. In this talk, we are going to explore what dogfooding is, how it's implemented at Datadog and, more importantly, what are its benefits and limitations.

**🎙️**Speaker: Santiago Gomez Saez, Datadog ambassador & Principal Cloud Architect @ **[dxone](https://www.dx.one.gmbh/)**

Running workloads in a highly distributed setup requires centralized observability for efficient detection and troubleshooting. Attend this session to hear how to efficiently setup Datadog to keep your observability ecosystem compliant. Attendees will learn different architectural aspects, such as structuring of Datadog Organizations, RBAC at scale, tagging hygiene, standard alerts, and enforcing enterprise compliance rules at scale.
