Monitor Amazon Data Firehose performance

This article details how Datadog users can now leverage Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams for significantly faster ingestion of CloudWatch metrics – up to 10x faster, in some cases. By utilizing Metric Streams, Datadog bypasses traditional polling, receiving near real-time metric data for improved monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting within the Datadog platform. This integration offers enhanced visibility into AWS resources and reduces latency for critical insights.
