[CONTENT SPRINT] Wire Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty with Pulumi

[sicarul]

Why this content is interesting

• It connects observability tools around incident workflow, not just monitoring setup.
• It is scheduled for 2026-06-11 as part of the content sprint's two-post-per-week cadence.

What we took into account

• We considered Datadog, New Relic, PagerDuty, tags, runbooks, escalation, and the gaps between separate clickops systems.
• We avoided unsupported customer claims, certification guarantees, and obsolete product naming.
• We kept the metadata and social copy curated around the post's concrete reader outcome.

Why it is useful to an end user

• End users get a repeatable way to keep monitors, alerts, and routing aligned.
• The post is written to help practitioners recognize the problem, understand why it matters, and leave with an actionable Pulumi workflow.

Design need

• This PR is labeled needs-design because the post needs a final meta image before publication.
• Existing feature.png and meta.png files are placeholders unless Design chooses to reuse or adapt them.

Metadata

• Title: Wire Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty with Pulumi
• Meta description: Use Pulumi to connect Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty as an observability baseline with monitors, alerts, escalation, and incident routing.

Suggestions (advisory)

These are stylistic notes — they don't block the post.

X

• "Wire Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty with Pulumi" is a flat imperative with no hook; the first sentence sets up a problem but the second line doesn't deliver tension — add a line that signals what the article reveals rather than restating the command

LinkedIn

• "stay repeatable" is vague; name the concrete outcome (e.g., survive team changes without re-clicking dashboards) to give readers a specific reason to click

Docs review for #18956

Thanks for the new content sprint post! Below are the issues I found, grouped by severity.

Blocking issues

1. H2 headings should use sentence case (STYLE-GUIDE.md, AGENTS.md)

H1 is Title Case; H2+ are sentence case.

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:32 — ## Managing Credentials with [Pulumi ESC](/docs/esc/)
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:57 — ## The Implementation

## Managing credentials with Pulumi ESC

## The implementation

(I would also recommend removing the link from inside the heading at line 32 — it is already linked in the first sentence of the body at line 34, and links in headings make anchor generation awkward.)

2. Ordered list items should all start with 1. (AGENTS.md, Ordered Lists)

The repo convention is "Every item begins with 1. to minimize diff noise."

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:25-28
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:123-125

1. **PagerDuty services and escalation policies** to define who gets paged and when.
1. **Datadog monitors** that automatically route alerts to the correct PagerDuty service.
1. **New Relic alert conditions** with consistent tags and runbook context.
1. **Unified tagging** across all three providers to ensure fast navigation during an incident.

1. **PagerDuty Integration**: Check the "Integrations" tab of your PagerDuty service to confirm that the Datadog integration key is correctly configured.
1. **Monitor Test**: Manually trigger a test alert in Datadog and verify that a PagerDuty incident is created with the correct service and tags.
1. **New Relic Routing**: Trigger the NRQL condition and verify that New Relic sends a notification through the configured policy channel.

3. Bug in code example: Output interpolated into template literal (line 80)

appService.name is a pulumi.Output<string>, not a string. Embedding it directly in a template literal will produce something like Calling [toString] on an [Output<T>].... Use pulumi.interpolate (which is also why import * as pulumi is needed at line 62 — currently the import is unused):

    message: pulumi.interpolate`CPU usage is high on {{host.name}}. Notify: @pagerduty-${appService.name}`,

Side note: in Datadog PagerDuty integration, the @pagerduty-<name> mention typically refers to the integration name configured in Datadog, not the PagerDuty service resource name. Worth double-checking that this resolves the way readers expect.

4. Missing blank line between paragraphs (lines 127-128)

These two sentences run together with no blank line, so they render as a single paragraph:

By wiring your observability stack as code, ...incidents quickly.
Pulumi allows you to promote these configurations across environments. ...triggers PagerDuty.

Insert a blank line between line 127 and line 128.

Suggested improvements

5. Content/code mismatch around escalation policies and tagging

The "What you will build" list (line 25) promises "PagerDuty services and escalation policies", but the code only references an existing escalation policy by ID (escalationPolicy: "P123456") — it does not create one. Either add a pagerduty.EscalationPolicy to the example or rephrase the bullet to "PagerDuty services routed to an existing escalation policy."

Likewise, the post highlights "unified tagging across all three providers" (line 28), but only the Datadog monitor at line 81 actually sets tags. Consider adding equivalent tag arguments on the PagerDuty service and New Relic alert policy/condition so the example matches the promise.

6. Deprecated New Relic resources

newrelic.AlertChannel and newrelic.AlertPolicyChannel (lines 89, 98) are deprecated in newer versions of the New Relic provider in favor of the workflows/notifications API (NotificationDestination, NotificationChannel, Workflow). Since this post is dated 2026-06-11, readers will likely be on a current provider version. Either swap to the current API or add a note explaining you are showing the legacy channel API for compatibility.

7. First-mention links missing

Per the blog review criteria, first mention of each tool/product should be hyperlinked.

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:15 — first mentions of "Datadog" and "PagerDuty" are unlinked.
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:23 — first mention of "New Relic" is unlinked.

8. Conclusion is generic; CTA is missing

The closing two sentences (line 134) — "Pulumi provides the scale and flexibility needed for modern operations" — are vague filler. The blog review criteria call for "specific next steps (not vague check out Pulumi)." Consider linking to the Datadog/New Relic/PagerDuty provider docs or a relevant Pulumi ESC guide, and using the {{< blog/cta-button >}} shortcode.

9. Minor AI-pattern / phrasing issues

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:15 — "thresholds that origin teams never bothered to fix" reads as opinionated and not quite accurate to a typical SRE context.
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:17 — "every service is born with..." anthropomorphism reads as a common AI-generated tic.
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:130 — "monitoring debt" is jargon that is not defined; consider replacing with concrete language ("inconsistent alerting and drift").

Frontmatter / publishing readiness

• social: block present with twitter, linkedin, bluesky
• meta_image set — present but placeholder per PR body; blocked on Design
• meta_image uses current Pulumi logo (placeholder)
• <!--more--> break present after intro
• Author profile exists with avatar (data/team/team/pablo-seibelt.toml, static/images/team/pablo-seibelt.jpg)
• All links resolve — first-mention links to Datadog/New Relic/PagerDuty missing (see Do not link @pulumi/cloud in the AWS quickstart #7)
• Code examples have language specifiers
• No animated GIFs as meta_image
• Title (47 chars) under 60 — no allow_long_title needed
• Meta description (158 chars) under 160

Out-of-scope change

The diff removes a @types/uuid entry from theme/stencil/yarn.lock. That does not look related to a blog post — was that intentional, or a stale local change? If unrelated, please revert to keep the PR focused.

If you would like another pass after addressing these, mention me (@claude) and I will re-review.

Re-review for #18956

Thanks for the cleanup, @sicarul — the branch is now a single commit on origin/master, the PR diff is blog-only (3 files), and the social copy in frontmatter now has the required paragraph breaks. Below is the status of every item from my previous review.

Fixed since last review

• ✅ Output interpolated into template literal — line 89 now uses pulumi.interpolate (and the pulumi import is no longer unused).
• ✅ First-mention links — Datadog and PagerDuty are linked on line 24, New Relic on line 26.
• ✅ Out-of-scope yarn.lock change — gone.
• ✅ Social copy paragraph formatting — twitter, linkedin, and bluesky now have the required blank-line separator.
• ✅ "What you'll build" vs. code mismatch (escalation policy) — bullet at line 34 now correctly reads "PagerDuty services routed to an existing escalation policy."

Still blocking

1. H2 headings — sentence case (and link in heading)

Per AGENTS.md, H2+ are sentence case. Two H2s are still Title Case, and one still has a link inside it:

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:41 — ## Managing Credentials with [Pulumi ESC](/docs/esc/)
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:66 — ## The Implementation

## Managing credentials with Pulumi ESC

## The implementation

The link to /docs/esc/ is already present in the first sentence of the section body at line 43, so removing it from the heading does not lose any navigation.

Fix this →

2. Ordered list items should all start with 1.

AGENTS.md: "Every item begins with 1. to minimize diff noise." Both ordered lists still use 1./2./3./4. numbering:

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:34-37
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:132-134

Fix this →

3. Missing blank line between paragraphs (lines 136-137)

Same issue as before, now at lines 136-137. The two sentences render as one paragraph because there is no blank line:

By wiring your observability stack as code, you ensure ... incidents quickly.
Pulumi allows you to promote these configurations across environments. ...triggers PagerDuty.

Insert a blank line between line 136 and line 137.

Still open from "suggested improvements"

These were marked as suggestions last time, not blockers — flagging again in case you want to address before publish:

• Tagging is still Datadog-only (line 90). The "Unified tagging across all three providers" promise on line 37 only matches the Datadog monitor. Either add tag arguments to the PagerDuty service and the New Relic alert policy/condition, or soften the bullet.
• Deprecated New Relic resources still in use (newrelic.AlertChannel, newrelic.AlertPolicyChannel on lines 98 and 107) — fine for compatibility, but a one-line note for readers on current provider versions would help.
• Conclusion is still generic and missing a CTA. "Pulumi provides the scale and flexibility needed for modern operations" (line 143) is filler. Consider a concrete next step (provider docs, an ESC guide) and the {{< blog/cta-button >}} shortcode.
• "monitoring debt" (line 139) is still jargon without a definition — minor.

Frontmatter / publishing readiness

• social: block with twitter/linkedin/bluesky, all with paragraph breaks ✅
• meta_image set — present but placeholder per PR body; blocked on Design
• `` break after intro
• Author profile present
• First-mention links resolve
• Code examples have language specifiers
• Title 47 chars (< 60)
• Meta description 158 chars (< 160)

Summary

PR scope is now correct, social copy is fixed, and the worst code bug (Output-in-template-literal) is resolved. The three remaining blocking items are mechanical style rules (heading case, ordered-list 1., missing paragraph break) — happy to re-review once they're in, or you can land them at the same time as a future Design pass on meta.png.

Re-review for #18956

Thanks @sicarul. The PR scope is correct (3 files: index.md, feature.png, meta.png) and the social copy / first-mention links / pulumi.interpolate fix all check out. However, the three mechanical style blockers I flagged in the previous re-review are still present in the current file (51fd6c3). Once those land, I am happy to clear this on style.

Still blocking

1. H2 headings must be sentence case (AGENTS.md, "Headings")

H1 is Title Case; H2+ are sentence case. Two H2s are still Title Case, and one still has a link inside it.

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:41 — ## Managing Credentials with [Pulumi ESC](/docs/esc/)
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:66 — ## The Implementation

## Managing credentials with Pulumi ESC

## The implementation

The link to /docs/esc/ is already present in the first sentence of the section body at line 43, so removing it from the heading does not lose any navigation and avoids the awkward heading-anchor generation.

Fix this →

2. Ordered list items must all start with 1. (AGENTS.md, "Ordered Lists")

"Every item begins with 1. to minimize diff noise."

Both ordered lists still use 1./2./3./4. numbering.

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:34-37 ("What you'll build")
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:132-134 ("Validation")

1. **PagerDuty services routed to an existing escalation policy** to define who gets paged and when.
1. **Datadog monitors** that automatically route alerts to the correct PagerDuty service.
1. **New Relic alert conditions** with consistent tags and runbook context.

1. **New Relic Routing**: Trigger the NRQL condition and verify that New Relic sends a notification through the configured policy channel.

3. Missing blank line between paragraphs (lines 136-137)

The two sentences still render as one paragraph because there is no blank line between them:

By wiring your observability stack as code, you ensure that every service is monitored from day one and that your on-call engineers always have the context they need to resolve incidents quickly.
Pulumi allows you to promote these configurations across environments. You can have a "staging" observability stack that notifies a Slack channel and a "production" stack that triggers PagerDuty.

Insert a blank line between line 136 and line 137.

Fix this →

Confirmed fixed since last review

• ✅ Branch is now a single commit on top of origin/master; PR diff is blog-only (3 files).
• ✅ Social copy paragraph breaks restored — twitter, linkedin, bluesky all have blank-line separators.

• ✅ Output interpolation bug — line 89 now uses pulumi.interpolate, and import * as pulumi is no longer unused.
• ✅ "What you'll build" wording at line 34 matches the code (existing escalation policy).
• ✅ Social Media Review bot: PASS on X / LinkedIn / Bluesky.

Still open (non-blocking, flagged for completeness)

These were "suggested improvements" last time, not blockers — listing again so they aren't lost:

• Unified tagging is still Datadog-only. Line 37 promises "Unified tagging across all three providers," but only the Datadog monitor (line 90) actually sets tags. Either add tag args to pagerduty.Service and the New Relic alert policy/condition, or soften the bullet.
• Deprecated New Relic resources — newrelic.AlertChannel (line 98) and newrelic.AlertPolicyChannel (line 107) are deprecated in newer provider versions in favor of NotificationDestination / NotificationChannel / Workflow. Fine to keep for compatibility, but a one-line note for readers on current providers would help.
• Conclusion is still generic, no CTA. "Pulumi provides the scale and flexibility needed for modern operations" (line 143) is filler. A concrete next step (Datadog/New Relic/PagerDuty provider docs, a Pulumi ESC guide) and the {{< blog/cta-button >}} shortcode would land better.
• "monitoring debt" (line 139) is jargon without a definition — minor.

Summary

The branch hygiene and social work are done. The remaining three blockers are mechanical style rules (H2 sentence case ×2, ordered-list 1. ×2, paragraph break ×1) — happy to clear once those are in. The non-blocking items above are optional polish you can address at the same time as the Design pass on meta.png, or punt.

Re-review for #18956

Thanks @sicarul. Acknowledged: PR is now draft and the needs-design label has been removed. PR scope is still correct (single commit on top of origin/master, diff is exactly index.md + feature.png + meta.png).

However, the file content at 51fd6c3a is byte-identical to the previous re-review — none of the three mechanical style blockers have been addressed. I won't repeat the full rationale a fourth time; here is the short version with line numbers verified against the current HEAD.

Still blocking

1. H2 sentence case (AGENTS.md, "Headings")

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:41 — ## Managing Credentials with [Pulumi ESC](/docs/esc/)
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:66 — ## The Implementation

Should be:

## Managing credentials with Pulumi ESC

## The implementation

2. Ordered list items must all start with 1. (AGENTS.md, "Ordered Lists")

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:34-37 ("What you'll build") — currently 1./2./3./4.
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:132-134 ("Validation") — currently 1./2./3.

3. Missing blank line between paragraphs

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:136-137 — sentence ending "...resolve incidents quickly." runs straight into "Pulumi allows you to promote..." with no blank line, so they render as one paragraph.

Since the draft status doesn't change the style requirements, and these are mechanical fixes, just reply @claude please apply the three style fixes above and I'll push them to this branch in one commit. Otherwise I'm happy to re-review again once you push them.

Still confirmed good

• ✅ Branch is single commit on origin/master; PR diff is exactly 3 files.
• ✅ Social copy bot is PASS on X / LinkedIn / Bluesky; paragraph breaks restored.
• ✅ First-mention links — Datadog/PagerDuty on line 24, New Relic on line 26.
• ✅ pulumi.interpolate fix at line 89; import * as pulumi is in use.
• ✅ "What you'll build" wording at line 34 matches the code.

Non-blocking, flagged for completeness

Unchanged from last review — listing the labels only, see prior comment for detail:

• Unified tagging is still Datadog-only (line 90 only).
• newrelic.AlertChannel / newrelic.AlertPolicyChannel deprecated in newer provider versions.
• Conclusion (line 143) is generic filler; no concrete CTA.
• "monitoring debt" (line 139) is undefined jargon.

Frontmatter / publishing readiness

• social: block with twitter/linkedin/bluesky with paragraph breaks
• meta_image set — present but placeholder per PR body
• `` break after intro
• Author profile present (pablo-seibelt)
• First-mention links resolve
• Code examples have language specifiers
• Title 47 chars (< 60)
• Meta description 158 chars (< 160)

Summary

PR scope, branch hygiene, social copy, and the pulumi.interpolate bug fix all still check out. The three mechanical style blockers (H2 sentence case ×2, ordered-list 1. ×2, paragraph break ×1) are unchanged at 51fd6c3a. Draft status doesn't change the style requirements, so the blockers stand. Happy to push the fixes for you on request.

Re-review for #18956

Thanks @sicarul — reviewed the latest pushed changes (HEAD 3b376a2) including the generated feature.png (1884×1256) and meta.png (1200×628). PR scope is still correct (single commit on top of origin/master, diff = index.md + feature.png + meta.png).

The good news: image dimensions are right and meta.png has a clean title treatment. There is one new blocking issue with the imagery itself, and the three previously-flagged mechanical style blockers are still present.

New blocking issue — image content does not match the post

Both feature.png and meta.png show three logos:

1. Datadog (the dog-in-polaroid icon, top of the cluster) ✓
2. Pulumi (bottom left) ✓
3. A flame icon (bottom right) — this is Prometheus, not New Relic and not PagerDuty.

The post is titled "Wire Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty with Pulumi" and Prometheus is not mentioned anywhere in the body. The feature/meta imagery therefore misrepresents the content. Either the images need to be regenerated with the New Relic and PagerDuty logos, or the post needs to be rewritten around Datadog/Prometheus/Pulumi — but the first option is clearly what's intended given the title, frontmatter, and code samples.

For reference: New Relic's mark is a green "NR" badge; PagerDuty's mark is a green/circle "PD" with a notch. The current bottom-right flame is Prometheus's torch.

Still blocking (mechanical style — unchanged at HEAD)

1. H2 headings must be sentence case (AGENTS.md, "Headings")

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:41 — ## Managing Credentials with [Pulumi ESC](/docs/esc/)
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:66 — ## The Implementation

## Managing credentials with Pulumi ESC

## The implementation

The link to /docs/esc/ is already in the first sentence of the section body at line 43, so removing it from the heading doesn't lose any navigation.

2. Ordered list items must all start with 1. (AGENTS.md, "Ordered Lists")

"Every item begins with 1. to minimize diff noise."

• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:34-37 ("What you'll build") — currently 1./2./3./4.
• content/blog/wiring-observability-stack-with-pulumi/index.md:132-134 ("Validation") — currently 1./2./3.

3. Missing blank line between paragraphs (lines 136-137)

The two sentences still run together with no blank line, so they render as one paragraph:

By wiring your observability stack as code, ... resolve incidents quickly.
Pulumi allows you to promote these configurations across environments. ... triggers PagerDuty.

Fix all three style blockers →

If you'd like, just reply @claude please apply the three style fixes above and I'll push them directly to this branch. The image regeneration needs the blog-meta-image skill and is a separate change.

Confirmed still good

• ✅ Single commit on top of origin/master; PR diff is exactly 3 files.
• ✅ Image dimensions: feature.png is 1884×1256, meta.png is 1200×628 — both correct for the blog templates.
• ✅ meta.png title rendering, brand background, Pulumi wordmark, and visual hierarchy are all clean.
• ✅ Social copy: PASS on X / LinkedIn / Bluesky; paragraph breaks restored in frontmatter.
• ✅ First-mention links — Datadog/PagerDuty on line 24, New Relic on line 26.
• ✅ pulumi.interpolate fix at line 89; import * as pulumi is in use.
• ✅ "What you'll build" wording at line 34 matches the code (existing escalation policy).

Still open (non-blocking)

Unchanged from previous reviews — listing labels only:

• Unified tagging is still Datadog-only (line 90 only).
• newrelic.AlertChannel / newrelic.AlertPolicyChannel deprecated in newer provider versions.
• Conclusion (line 143) is generic filler; no concrete CTA.
• "monitoring debt" (line 139) is undefined jargon.

Frontmatter / publishing readiness

• social: block with twitter/linkedin/bluesky and paragraph breaks
• meta_image set — present but content mismatches the post (Prometheus logo instead of New Relic / PagerDuty)
• feature_image set
• `` break after intro
• Author profile present (pablo-seibelt)
• First-mention links resolve
• Code examples have language specifiers
• Title 47 chars (< 60)
• Meta description 158 chars (< 160)

Summary

The biggest finding this round is the image content mismatch — the feature/meta images show Datadog, Pulumi, and Prometheus, but the post is about Datadog, New Relic, and PagerDuty. That's a publish-blocker since the OG image and social preview will mislead readers. The three mechanical style blockers from prior reviews are still present and unchanged. Happy to push the three style fixes on request; the image regeneration is best done by re-running the blog-meta-image skill with the right logo set.
