@datadoghq - Overall well done! Here's some feedback:

Signup/User process

  • when someone invites you to their datadog/team, you get an email but because you are already registered you can't join their team. Especially annoying for freelancers that work for multiple customers but don't have an email account at the customer site
  • disable a user is scary (will this delete it, can I re-create it?); a warning or ? next to it would help for fast understanding
  • if the user you invite does not have it's gmail activated yet (google for apps), when the email is added it's send out (but doesn't reach it of course). There is no way of re-sending the invite from the admin side
  • the forcing of registering at least one agent/integration is really annoying. if you signup through an ipad or the person signing up (like billing) does not have any way to go past that screen. So you wonder , am I registered or not? In our case the person installed the mac agent from it's laptop to get it going. N

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?
