How to add Software Catalog metadata at scale with Terraform | Datadog Tips & Tricks

Adding metadata to Software Catalog entities manually is a tedious process that doesn’t scale as your service count grows.

This video shows you how to automate that work with Terraform so you can add shared metadata across existing Software Catalog entities at scale.

Learn how to:

• Create a CSV reference table and YAML files to map metadata to services
• Add team ownership, Slack channels, and GitHub repositories
• Merge shared metadata without overwriting service-specific fields
• Verify updated entities in Software Catalog and Datadog Teams
