[Workshop] How to migrate from Datadog without losing a single dashboard
π Join us for a hands-on workshop! π
Datadog's pricing model can limit your visibility by pushing you to sample traces and drop cardinality. This workshop will guide you through migrating a live service from Datadog to a groundcover environment, utilizing open-source technologies to avoid vendor lock-in.
π What You'll Learn:
- Explore your Kubernetes workload and deploy groundcover for live observation.
- Utilize eBPF-based collection at the node levelβno code instrumentation or agents required!
- Rebuild existing Datadog dashboards and alerts side by side using our migrating agent.
- Map PromQL/OTel queries and confirm parity.
- Understand the deployment model of groundcover, which runs in your own cloud, ensuring telemetry and storage remain in your account.
π οΈ Prerequisites:
Familiarity with Kubernetes and Datadog is helpful, but the migration path is designed to be approachable and reproducible on your own cluster.
π
Prepare Ahead:
Follow our step-by-step guide to deploy your groundcover backend in advance!
