Windsurf x Datadog SDK Build Session in NYC

​Join Windsurf and Datadog in NYC for an evening of AI coding and LLM observability. We’ll build and iterate on an LLM-powered app using the Windsurf Editor, then instrument it with Datadog’s LLM Observability SDK to understand behavior, measure quality, and improve performance. Expect hands-on breakout pods, practical prompts, and a fast feedback loop from code to traces.

​Who should attend:

• ​Application developers and AI engineers

• ​Teams exploring LLM apps and production readiness

• ​Builders who want to prototype quickly and monitor intelligently

​What you’ll learn:

• ​How to rapidly iterate on an LLM app in Windsurf

• ​How to add Datadog’s LLM Observability and view traces

• ​How to iterate using observability insights (prompt and workflow tweaks)
