Jeff Allen

Team lead at @datadoghq

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

For this role, we're looking for a self-starter with interest in low-level computing -- maybe a CS background? You'll be working with concepts like sampling rates of various resources in runtimes like the JVM or Go to help identify anomalies and trends in Profiling data.

My team at Datadog is looking to hire our first data scientist! We have some of the largest data sets in the company but haven't yet had anyone focused on applying stats/ML to help make sense of them.

No public posting yet, but reach out if you're interested!

My colleague @_Pyves just published a blog post about the source code preview features of our continuous profiler 🎉.

One cool UX detail is how we show source code in the default view where we group by function rather than by line.

You can reduce CPU usage of your Go services by up to 14 percent with Datadog’s profile-guided optimization tool. Read how we used it in our own environment: https://t.co/z2Z5WILMBf

@winston_chang Now everybody can mark off the "Winston makes a reference to drug paraphernalia" square on their posticonf bingo card (if they hadn't already).

I just dropped this hot new track at #positconf2023

I’m happy to share some of the projects my team at @datadoghq (the profiling team) has been working on over the past year. One of our main initiatives is to surface complex performance issues through effective visualization of profiling data.

[Felix Geisendörfer @felixge]

I can finally talk about the new feature I've been working on @datadoghq for the past few months.

Please check out our new profiling timeline for Go. We believe it's an absolute game changer for debugging tricky latency problems. #golang #performance 🧵

@grrrck @posit_pbc The day we always feared would come! 😉

Congrats!

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

Do we just give it our jobs now, or wait or what?

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

@TheGerardTaylor Sorry you're going through this. What a mess. If you're interested in @datadoghq, don't hesitate to DM me!

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

I wrote up some thoughts on my journey toward becoming more reliable. https://t.co/oXJInoc2RT

A new @datadoghq feature my team and I have worked on has officially gone live (public beta) now:

Watchdog Insights for Continuous Profiler 🎉

The idea is to automate some of the problem analysis and solution proposal a profiling expert on your team might provide.

@lopp_sean "Agile seating setup" is a very positive spin on "none of you get desks." 😉

Just spent a couple minutes baffled by vim before I realized that caps lock was on. Is this what having a stroke feels like?

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

@kierisi @grrrck @jasongrahn Thank you. I was just coming to point out that this is just a bland omelette served on bread.

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

@John_J_Howard @rstudio @datadoghq Thankfully no 😉 I'll be remote from Dallas.

[Jeff Allen @TrestleJeff]

Earlier this month I wrapped up my time at @rstudio. I couldn't have asked for a better team, company, or community.

But I'm thrilled to start today with @datadoghq!
