This talk focuses on telling the story of the Haystack 2.0 rewrite that I tackled together with my team. I show some of the pro and cons of starting a rewrite. I also outline some important to do tasks that must be taken into consideration when embarking the rewrite boat. In the end I also present some differences between Haystack 1 and 2 to show off the enhancement we could make because of the rewrite.
In this talk, I tell the story of how my team started using Datadog in an unusual way to monitor the success of one of the most important of its Open Source projects, the Arduino CLI, by gathering download information from different sources and monitoring build failures. I also explore some of the next steps we can take to gain insight into our other projects.
