Eliott Bouhana contributed to DataDog/dd-trace-go by developing and enhancing backend instrumentation, security, and integration features over six months. He implemented HTTP AppSec instrumentation with ServeMux integration, enabling accurate route tracing and improved security visibility for Go services. Eliott modernized dependency management and CI/CD pipelines, stabilized remote configuration, and introduced Unix Domain Socket support for gRPC servers to optimize performance in containerized environments. His work included feature flag exposure tracking, Azure APIM callout integration with Datadog WAF, and rigorous test infrastructure improvements. Using Go, YAML, and gRPC, Eliott delivered robust, maintainable solutions that improved reliability, observability, and developer velocity.

August 2025: Key work on DataDog/dd-trace-go focused on strengthening HTTP AppSec instrumentation and trace reliability, plus dependency hygiene to improve build stability. Delivered HTTP AppSec instrumentation with ServeMux integration, enabling reliable route data propagation and accurate request tracing across Go HTTP handlers, which improves security visibility and observability for customer services. Fixed build issues and ensured correct ServeHTTP flow, reducing integration friction. Removed a local replace directive to use the correct non-retracted DataDog Go module version, stabilizing builds. These efforts reduce mean time to troubleshoot and improve developer velocity for users of dd-trace-go.
