What is Datadog?

Datadog is a cloud based observability and security platform that unifies infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM), log management, real user monitoring, and security monitoring in a single product. It correlates metrics, traces, and logs so engineering teams can pivot between them to investigate issues down to the code level, and it offers more than 1,000 integrations with cloud providers and other tools.

Datadog's pricing is modular and usage based, with each product billed separately, such as per host for infrastructure and APM, or per GB and per million events for log management. A limited free tier covers up to 5 hosts with 1-day retention. Datadog also offers AI powered features including anomaly detection and autonomous investigation agents.
