Monitor feature releases with Statsig's offering in the Datadog Marketplace

This article argues against overly manual release processes ("babysitting") and advocates for leveraging guardrail metrics – automated checks that define acceptable performance during deployment. By establishing these metrics before a release, teams can confidently automate deployments and quickly identify/rollback issues without constant monitoring, ultimately increasing release velocity and reducing stress. Essentially, it's about shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive prevention through data-driven automation.
