An integration story: datadog agents on clever-cloud

Integrating datadog on a system that’s not included in their deploy script is not straightforward, it took some time and pain of figuring things out, but in the end, it iss actually straightforward. Through this blog post, I figured I’d share my experience, while writing that missing piece of documentation, on how to build and deploy the datadog agents.…

How to manage invoices with the CLI and an editor

Here’s a common thing we often hear: if you’re doing a task more than once, automize it!
