Join us for the very first meetup of the Datadog Dublin User Group, with networking and talks from experienced practitioners! **🏠 18:00 - Arrival: Networking, Drinks & Snacks (40 min.)** Meet and greet your peers, grab food and drink **📆 18:40 - Introduction** **🎙️ Speaker:** Anatoly Mikhaylov, Principal Engineer at Zendesk, Datadog Ambassador **Description:** User group kick off followed by very successful customer story. Anatoly will share real life examples how Datadog supports Zendesk. He will share how valuable Datadog is to support multi-billion enterprise for over a decade, how it evolved and what problems it helps to solve. From an observability tool it became incident detection and prevention tool, database reliability powerhouse and it helped to shape how we deploy changes to production with confidence. **📆 19:00 - Powering Platform Engineering through Datadog** **🎙️ Speaker:** Marcel Drechsler, Product Owner @ andsafe **Description:** In the rapidly changing landscape of Platform Engineering, Datadog has evolved from a monitoring tool into a comprehensive foundation for Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). This session explores the journey of scaling observability and security into a unified platform strategy that reduces developer friction. We will dive into how Datadog’s expanding ecosystem provides the essential building blocks for modern self-service infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to leverage these integrated features to build a more resilient and transparent developer experience. Discover how to transform your Datadog instance into a strategic asset for your platform’s success. **📆 19:40 - Pay for What You Use, Use What You Pay For: Frugal Architecture with Datadog Cloud Costs** **🎙️ Speaker:** Apostolis Apostolidis, Lead Archirect @ Flipdish, Datadog Ambassador **Description:** We've all seen that Slack message. Someone senior forwards the monthly cloud bill with a single line: "Can someone take a look at this? Why has it spiked so much?" Nobody knows. Even worse, nobody owns it. And that's exactly the issue. At Flipdish, we fixed that by bringing cloud and SaaS cost data into Datadog: the same tool our engineers already use for logs, metrics and traces. Now spend wasn't a finance report. It was a dashboard any engineer could pull up, attribute to a service, and act on like any other signal. In this talk, I'll share what we found when we actually looked, how we embed cost awareness into architecture reviews and incident response, and why AI workloads are making this discipline urgent, where a single runaway prompt can spike your bill overnight in a way no latency alert would catch. If you can alert on a p99 spike, you can alert on a cost spike. Same signal. Different dimension. **📆 20:20 - To be announced** **🎙️ Speaker: To be announced** **Description: To be announced**

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
