Joaquin Riosco developed cloud infrastructure features for Datadog’s AWS integrations, focusing on configuration and cost optimization. In the DataDog/cloudformation-template repository, he enabled metrics ingestion to the US3 Datadog region by extending the AWS Kinesis Firehose YAML mapping, supporting multi-region data availability while ensuring backward compatibility. In the DataDog/terraform-provider-datadog repository, Joaquin updated the Terraform provider to disable AWS/Usage metrics collection by default, reducing unnecessary CloudWatch API calls and clarifying default behaviors through schema, documentation, and test updates. His work leveraged Go, YAML, and Infrastructure as Code practices, demonstrating depth in cloud integration and provider development over two months.
