Datadog is a full-stack monitoring and observability platform that brings infrastructure metrics, application performance monitoring (APM), log management, and real user monitoring (RUM) together in one place. Founded in 2010, it is aimed at teams operating cloud applications and infrastructure that want a single, integrated view across their stack. The platform is delivered as a closed-source SaaS with modular, per-host and usage-based pricing, plus a free infrastructure plan for a small number of hosts. It carries broad compliance coverage including SOC2, ISO27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, making it suitable for both startups and regulated enterprises.
