This episode is sponsored by our great friends at DataDog. This week DataDog wants you to know about Logging without Limits.

Logging without Limits lets you cost-effectively process and archive all of your logs, and decide on the fly which logs to index, visualize, and retain for analytics in Datadog. Now you can collect every single log produced by your applications and infrastructure, without having to decide ahead of time which logs will be most valuable for monitoring, analytics, and troubleshooting.
