Welcome to TSKO 2024 - Datadog Partner Network Challenge !! Your goal will be to capture all the flags related to a micro-service architected application called Swagstore using Datadog.
The app consists of an 12-tier microservices application. The application is a web-based e-commerce app where users can browse items, add them to the cart, and purchase them. It is a fictitious e-commerce swag store, don't expect to receive swags 😀
