Learning objectives

  • Master advanced distributed traces in Datadog APM to diagnose bottlenecks in real-time.
  • Configure customized Datadog dashboards and alerts for proactive supervision of critical applications.
  • Optimize application performance through in-depth analysis of APM metrics in an enterprise context.
  • Implement expert Datadog APM integrations with Kubernetes and cloud providers to scale deployments.
  • Develop certifiable skills in anomaly detection and automated root cause analysis.
  • Design end-to-end observability strategies tailored to professional hybrid environments.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Datadog APM: Expert Configuration of Traces and Agents (custom metrics, auto instrumentation)

Dive into the advanced installation of the Datadog APM agent, configure automatic instrumentation for Java, Node.js, and Python, explore custom spans and contextual tags through practical exercises on a simulated Kubernetes cluster, build your first distributed traces dashboards, analyze real flows to identify hidden latencies, and generate initial production-ready reports, while integrating concrete cases from Fortune 500 companies.

Module 2Datadog APM: Advanced Analysis and Alerting (root cause, SLOs, AI-powered insights)

Deepen the analysis of waterfalls and flame graphs to break down slow requests, implement intelligent watchdogs for anomaly detection, configure SLOs and SLIs aligned with business objectives through interactive workshops, test failure scenarios in live coding, integrate logs-traces-metrics correlations, and deploy proactive alerts reducing MTTR by 50%, with feedback from real incidents resolved by Datadog APM.

Module 3Datadog APM: Optimization and Scaling (cloud integrations, autoscaling, expert best practices)

Master native integrations with AWS, GCP, and Azure for multi-cloud observability, optimize APM costs via intelligent sampling and retention policies, develop custom scripts for automation via Terraform and Datadog API, simulate load spikes to validate autoscaling, review SRE best practices from critical productions, and finalize a capstone project deliverable: a complete APM stack deployed and monitored, certified for your enterprise.

Evaluation method

  • Daily technical quizzes on advanced APM configurations.
  • Practical case studies with real-time diagnostics.
  • Final project: Implementation of a scalable Datadog APM solution, graded and certifying.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
