Datadog is a New York-based software company, founded in 2010, that builds a SaaS monitoring and security platform for cloud applications. Its platform consolidates data from servers, containers, databases, and third-party services into a single unified view - addressing the visibility challenges that engineers face as infrastructure grows more distributed and complex.
The platform spans a broad range of capabilities, including infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM), log management, security monitoring, digital experience tracking, and AI-powered insights. Rather than operating as a collection of separate tools, these functions are integrated, allowing engineering and operations teams to correlate signals across their entire stack from one place.
Datadog went public in 2019 and now employs over 8,000 people worldwide. Its customer base spans organisations running cloud-native applications at varying scales, from startups to large enterprises, across industries that depend on reliable software infrastructure.
