Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

dddk

Do you have lots of services? Do you wish they had a consistent set of monitors, alerting to the right teams? What about SLOs automatically generated containing all serious issues? And to dump those straight onto dashboards per app, or rollup stats for the team/company?

Well wish no more! The Datadog Dev Kit does this for you using a simple typescript CLI that gives you full autocomplete as you describe your services.

Getting started

Best way to get started is to fetch the scaffolding and work from there.

npx degit 99designs/dddk-init my-repo

To create the example dashboards:

DD_API_KEY=AAA DD_APP_KEY=BBB npm run push

What does it do?

For each service there are four DataDog objects which are managed by dddk.

  • Dashboards
  • Monitors
  • Synthetics
  • Service Level Objectives (SLOs)

Many of these objects are reused across multiple apps. For example, you might want the same set of fargate metrics across all of your services running fargate. In dddk these sets of reusable objects are called components. App '.ts' files in apps consist of components and sometimes custom objects. dddk systematically generates relevant objects for each app and pushes them to DataDog.

DataDog Development Kit enables small modifications to be easily propagated through the entire ecosystem of applications. Without dddk, ecosystem wide changes are tedious to apply and prone to human error.

How does it know what to update?

Objects are matched based on title, which include the created by:dddk tag.

Dashboards are updated which have "managed by dddk" in the description.

A lock file keeps track of the expected state on DataDog - only pushing the modified objects.
