Datadog ($DDOG) – Product Debut – June 22, 2024
A key theme within data observability and analytics is bringing work, assets and insights directly to the data. This has a way of cutting data transfer and storage costs and uplifting applications with more context-rich insight. It’s why Snowflake and MongoDB are so focused on helping developers use their platforms to not only query needed info, but also to build apps. Datadog is making a similar push within the somewhat related observability and monitoring realms of data architecture.
This week, the firm debuted the Datadog App Builder to “make self-service apps and integrate them right into monitoring stacks.” The focus of this app-building tool is enabling companies to power granular use cases and accelerate the remediation of any observed issue within their ecosystems. It also comes with pre-built templates and no-code writing tools to shrink app creation time from weeks to hours – even for beginners.
By putting overarching observability, issue flagging and remediation under one roof, Datadog tears down vendor silos, creating a faster course of action and better-informed reparation. It eliminates the need for data scientists and security analysts to go hunting for needed context to diagnose & repair. This further amplifies Datadog’s ability to consolidate point solutions within the broad DevSecOps sector. More vendor consolidation means more revenue, better margins, better retention and better outcomes. It helps everywhere.
