Datadog IDP: Ship software quickly and confidently

Jul 24, 2025

Datadog Internal Developer Portal (IDP) helps developers quickly track down shared engineering knowledge, execute common production tasks in self-service manner, and evaluate the production-readiness of new service code. Datadog IDP includes three core features:

  • Software Catalog visualizes hierarchy charts to help developers better understand how services, queues, and data stores fit into larger systems.
  • Self-Service Actions enable developers to provision infrastructure, scaffold new services, and configure CI/CD without needing to submit tickets with infrastructure or platform teams.
  • Scorecards provide delivery guardrails prior to the release of new services to help developers evaluate their application code on criteria such as observability best practices, ownership and documentation, and production-readiness.
