Datadog

Datadog operates a B2B SaaS platform that centralises observability data from customer environments into a unified interface for monitoring, alerting, analytics, and troubleshooting. It creates value by reducing operational blind spots across modern software stacks and then expands account value through modular product adoption across infrastructure monitoring, APM, log management, network monitoring, observability pipelines, security, and adjacent analytics capabilities.

Datadog is a US-listed B2B software company providing a cloud-based observability and monitoring platform for infrastructure, applications, logs, networks, and related telemetry. Its products are used by DevOps, SRE, engineering, IT operations, platform, and security teams to monitor distributed systems, troubleshoot incidents, and improve performance across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments.

The company primarily makes money through SaaS subscriptions combined with usage-based charges tied to monitored hosts, resources, log volumes, telemetry ingestion, and data processing. Its customer base is business users rather than consumers, ranging from cloud-native software teams to larger enterprises running complex multi-environment infrastructure. Recent acquisitions indicate expansion beyond core observability into AI observability, experimentation, and product analytics.
