Time to value

Immediate

You can use Datadog to monitor servers, databases, cloud services, and applications in a single dashboard. It gathers performance metrics, logs, and traces from your entire infrastructure so you can diagnose errors and latency bottlenecks quickly. The system tracks user sessions on web and mobile apps to spot frontend issues, while continuous security scanning catches code vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations. You can also configure alerts, analyze network traffic, inspect serverless workloads, and track deployments to keep production services running without interruptions.

What Datadog does

Deploy monitoring agents to virtual machines and Kubernetes clustersBuild custom dashboards to visualize CPU, memory, and disk usageSearch and filter through millions of server log entriesInspect distributed traces to identify slow database queriesSet threshold alerts to notify on-call engineers via messaging channelsRecord and replay user click sessions on web applicationsScan source code repositories and cloud environments for leaked credentialsFull-stack infrastructure and server monitoring across multi-cloud environmentsApplication performance monitoring with distributed tracing and code-level diagnosticsCentralized log collection, parsing, and analysis with fast search filtersReal User Monitoring and session replay for frontend web and mobile applicationsSynthetic API and browser tests to detect broken user flows proactivelyAutomated vulnerability detection and cloud security posture trackingLive network traffic visualization and Kubernetes container metrics
