Turn feedback into action across your engineering org with Datadog Forms

Engineering teams rely on forms for everything from approvals to checklists, yet the process usually lives outside engineering operations. Spreadsheets, one-off surveys, and external form builders capture inputs, but they create scattered data, slow follow-ups, and manual translation into actionable work. Datadog Forms enables teams to create and share interactive forms directly within Datadog.

Define, run, and scale custom LLM-as-a-judge evaluations in Datadog

Teams deploying LLM applications face a critical blind spot: They can measure speed and cost, but not whether their AI is actually giving good answers. To build user trust in these applications, teams also need to measure response quality, including factual accuracy, safety, and tone. Operational metrics show how a system behaves, but not whether its responses are correct or on brand.

Build custom apps in seconds with conversational AI in App Builder

Datadog App Builder is a low-code tool for creating internal apps, making use of a drag-and-drop interface that allows engineering teams to troubleshoot issues, optimize operations, and enable self-service while connecting directly to their Datadog data and permissions.

Coordinate large-scale engineering initiatives with IDP Campaigns

As organizations grow, engineering leaders often need to drive cross-team initiatives such as reducing cloud spend, upgrading runtimes, or strengthening security controls. Tracking this work can quickly become fragmented across spreadsheets, dashboards, and status meetings. Progress is hard to measure, accountability is unclear, and the impact of each effort can be difficult to demonstrate.

Use OpenTelemetry with Observability Pipelines for vendor-neutral log collection and cost control

Today, many DevOps and security teams operate in a world of complex, hybrid, or multi-vendor environments. As more teams look to avoid lock-in by adopting open standards, OpenTelemetry (OTel) is quickly gaining adoption as the primary open source method for DevOps and security teams to instrument and aggregate their telemetry data. However, OTel alone may lack the advanced processing functions, native volume control rules, and hybrid environment support that large organizations need.

How Datadog Feature Flags is resilient to cloud provider failures

Import Snowflake, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Databricks metadata into Datadog with Reference Tables

Engineering, operations, and security teams can struggle to make sense of their telemetry data in isolation. Logs, metrics, and events tell what is happening but are often missing critical metadata like who owns what, where it's coming from, or indicators of attack. These gaps in visibility slow down incident response, complicate cost control, and make business or security analytics much harder.

Turn fragmented runtime signals into coherent attack stories with Datadog Workload Protection

Security teams face a constant trade-off between detection coverage and alert fatigue. Broad, rule-based detection approaches surface every possible indicator of compromise (IoC) but generate unmanageable alert volumes. Narrow, tightly scoped rules reduce noise but risk missing critical signals. And while individual indicators of compromise can highlight suspicious behavior, they often lack the surrounding context needed to tell a complete story of how an attack unfolded.
