Miguel Arroz contributed to the DataDog/dd-sdk-ios repository by developing and refining features that enhance traceability, data fidelity, and developer experience in iOS observability tooling. Over four months, he implemented RUM tracing integration, standardized log tagging, and evolved the sampling decision system, focusing on robust backend integration and reliable propagation of trace context. His work involved deep architectural changes using Swift and Objective-C, including concurrency refactors, API surface improvements, and comprehensive test automation. By addressing build stability, documentation, and integration testing, Miguel delivered solutions that improved log context, trace correlation, and data quality, demonstrating strong backend and distributed systems engineering skills.
March 2026 monthly summary for DataDog/dd-sdk-ios focusing on RUM Tracing Integration and Active Span Management. The work delivered elevates end-to-end traceability by propagating active span context into RUM resources, aligns RUM resource sampling with trace spans, and ensures consistent trace IDs used by backend APM reconstruction. The initiative also included extensive tests, refactors for concurrency and safety, and targeted bug fixes to solidify span context handling and resource sampling across the RUM feature.

January 2026 – dd-sdk-ios delivered a set of targeted improvements to RUM data path, sampling, and trace propagation that together increase data fidelity, reliability, and developer productivity. Key outcomes include manual keep/drop support with a partial data model and end-to-end ingestion/propagation plus initial tests; evolution of the sampling decision system to agentRate (renaming and class-based SamplingDecision) with full ingestion/propagation, plus cleanup of legacy changes; propagation header bug fixes ensuring correct propagation state and restoration of the sampled flag for downstream visibility; ergonomic API surface enhancements for keep/drop flows and Objective-C alignment; enrichment of propagation metadata with a tracestate t.dm key; and comprehensive documentation, test, and build quality work (docs, changelog updates, tracer tests, test compilation fixes, and a pod version upgrade to stabilize builds). Overall impact moves the SDK closer to production-ready data accuracy, lower maintenance costs for data retention decisions, and a smoother developer experience for iOS teams.
