May 2025 – DataDog/datadog-agent: Delivered serverless metrics origins support and standardized origin tagging across serverless-init and sidecar metrics, enabling cloud-environment differentiation (AppService, CloudRun, ContainerApp, AWS Lambda, etc.) for improved observability and workload visibility. This work provides more accurate attribution of metrics to cloud environments and establishes a foundation for deeper serverless telemetry.

In April 2025, delivered a focused upgrade to the DataDog serverless plugin, reinforcing security, compatibility, and maintainability. Released Serverless Datadog Plugin v5.89.0 with updated Lambda layers and dependencies, aligning with security patches and latest features. No major bugs reported this month; all changes were release-driven improvements.

February 2025 monthly summary: Delivered key releases and instrumentation across multiple DataDog repositories, driving stability, security, and observability while keeping dependencies current.

Summary for 2025-01: Implemented secure API key retrieval for the metrics API client in DataDog/datadog-lambda-js. Added support for apiKeySecretARN and updated getConfig to fetch the API key from AWS Secrets Manager when an ARN is provided, enabling external secret management and reducing credential exposure. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: strengthens security, simplifies secret rotation, and improves compliance with secret management best practices for the repository.
