Monitor highly regulated workloads with Datadog's FIPS-enabled Agent

The article details how the authors significantly reduced the size of their Go Agent binaries – up to 77% – by focusing on build optimization techniques. They achieved this through stripping debug information, utilizing UPX compression, and employing a minimal base image with static linking, ultimately leading to faster deployment and reduced resource usage. These optimizations were carefully balanced to avoid performance regressions and maintain security.
