Hi there, Here are the books for the April 21st meetup. And remember, you don't have to read both books! Enjoy, and see you on the 21st of April! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LOCATION HAS MOVED FROM THE BLEEDING HORSE TO JIMMY RABBITTE AT 87 LOWER CAMDEN STREET. Note: If these books are difficult to find in bookshops, try online (e.g.: Amazon.co.uk, kennys.ie, easons.com, bookdepository.com to name a few). AS THIS GROUP DOES NOT TAKE ONLINE PAYMENTS, EVERYONE WILL SHOW AS 'UNPAID'. PLEASE IGNORE. **1\. Julia \- Sandra Newman** London, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania. It's 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen - cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. She's very good at staying alive. But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department - a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith; she comes to realise that she's losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world. Seventy-five years after Orwell finished writing his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell's *Nineteen Eighty-Four*, here, finally, is a provocative, vital and utterly satisfying companion novel. **2\. Erasure \- Percival Everett** With your book sales at an all-time low, your family falling apart, and your agent telling you you're not black enough, what's an author to do? Thelonius 'Monk' Ellison has the answer. Or does he . . . ? Séamus

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**
