Datadog

Datadog is a cloud-based observability platform that consolidates metrics, traces, logs, and other telemetry from applications, infrastructure, and services into a single, unified view. It provides real-time monitoring for cloud environments, containers, microservices, on-premises systems, and hybrid architectures. Users can collect data from servers, databases, load balancers, APIs, and third-party services via extensive integrations and agents, then visualize that data through customizable dashboards and charts.

Core capabilities include infrastructure monitoring, APM (application performance monitoring), log management, real user monitoring, and synthetic testing. Datadog’s APM traces requests across distributed systems, helping teams pinpoint performance bottlenecks and errors. Log management enables centralized collection, search, filtering, and correlation of logs with metrics and traces. Infrastructure monitoring tracks resource utilization, health, and availability, with support for Kubernetes, serverless platforms, and major cloud providers.
