As AI workloads and cloud-native applications expand, organizations are generating more log data than ever. Each service, container, and model inference produces continuous telemetry that must be stored, secured, and analyzed. As telemetry grows more complex, teams must balance full visibility with new retention and residency needs.

We are thrilled to announce that, for the second consecutive year, Datadog has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Monitoring. We believe that this recognition reflects our continued focus on helping customers observe, secure, and act on everything that matters across their technology stack.

Modern teams often run hundreds of synthetic tests across multiple services, environments, and user journeys. While these tests provide deep visibility, managing them as a flat list can quickly become overwhelming, especially as organizations scale and teams specialize.

Metrics are fundamental to experimentation for two reasons: They set the basis for evaluating ideas and interventions, and they can suggest where to look next. As such, many teams collect a wide variety of metrics, from application performance data to revenue trends. However, doing so often means manually knitting together data from multiple sources and formats. Even then, data silos can make it challenging to understand the full impact of experimental changes. In this post, we’ll explore.

When external SaaS providers or cloud services degrade or go down, engineers often find themselves wondering if the issue they're encountering is local or more widespread. The answers they find are usually slow to surface, limited in detail, or entirely dependent on the provider's updates. Vendor-controlled status pages and third-party aggregators don’t provide the timely, independent visibility that's necessary to quickly and accurately identify the root cause of slowdowns.

High-performance computing (HPC) environments support some of the most critical workloads in the world—from asset pricing models in financial institutions to molecular simulations in drug discovery. These workloads often span hundreds of thousands of cores, depend on specialized infrastructure such as GPUs, and run for extended periods. As a result, performance and efficiency are critical.
