Datadog

New York, NY, United States• Founded 2010

Datadog is a cloud monitoring and security platform that provides observability across infrastructure, applications, logs, user experience, and security signals. It is used by engineering, IT, and security teams to monitor performance, troubleshoot incidents, and manage risk across modern cloud and hybrid environments.

AI Strategy

Datadog embeds machine learning and generative AI into its observability and security platform to automate anomaly detection, surface likely root causes, and accelerate investigation and remediation workflows. Its strategy emphasizes AI-assisted operations (AIOps) and natural-language interfaces to reduce mean time to detect/resolve issues across telemetry data.
