Empowering small teams with Amazon ECS Fargate and Datadog
summary
KirkpatrickPrice runs its Online Audit Manager across 25+ AWS accounts using Amazon ECS Fargate orchestrated by Terraform and task definitions, and it pairs Datadog APM, Cloud SIEM and Cloud Security Management (with Fluent Bit and CloudTrail ingestion) to cut infrastructure toil and surface container runtime threats. The team deploys Datadog agents and rules deployed across environments in less than a week, gains quick detections from 150 out-of-the-box rules, and achieves reduced operational workload while improving response speed and confidence.
