Datadog Cloud Cost Management: Make cost a key metric for engineers

Oct 22, 2025

See how Datadog Cloud Cost Management puts cost and efficiency KPIs directly in front of engineers in their daily workflows.

In this short demo, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build custom dashboards to track KPIs like cost per transaction or error rates
  • Turn those KPIs into monitors and alerts, so engineering teams act instantly on cost changes.
  • Automatically surface cost metrics in the Software Catalog, giving every service owner full visibility.
  • Use Scorecards to benchmark FinOps adoption across teams.

Datadog unifies cost, performance, and business metrics in one platform, so FinOps, engineering, and finance teams can make cost-aware decisions together.
