Datadog Ambassadors share their expertise through blog posts, conference talks, open source contributions, and community leadership, helping developers around the world understand observability, DevOps, security, and more. From leading community events to building custom integrations, our Ambassadors have been hard at work showcasing their Datadog chops.

What we’ve been up to

Over the past year, our Ambassador community has continued to grow—not only in size, but also in impact. From publishing technical blog posts to giving conference talks and growing local communities, our Ambassadors have been at the forefront of thought leadership in the observability space.

Whether it’s community organizing or sharing real-world experiences on cloud migrations and platform engineering, our Ambassadors continue to produce thoughtful, hands-on content. Some standout contributions from this year include:

Several Ambassadors have taken on leadership roles within their local communities, scaling User Groups into thriving hubs of learning and collaboration. From meetups to workshops, they’re helping foster strong regional ecosystems that support ongoing learning and connection.

  • Ichiro Kano has played a key role in growing the Datadog Japan User Group (JDDUG) into a vibrant community, regularly organizing in-person meetups and technical sessions that bring together engineers across Japan to share observability best practices.

  • Changhyeon Yoon has been instrumental in growing the Datadog Korea User Group (DDKruG), helping organize meetups that highlight real-world use cases, foster community-driven learning, and build a stronger network of Datadog users across Korea.

Meet the 2025 Datadog Ambassadors

This year, the Ambassador program is expanding with a new cohort of builders, security experts, educators, and community leaders—and we’re excited to welcome them to the community.

Thank you, Ambassadors!

The Datadog Ambassadors program continues to grow as a vibrant community of technical leaders, content creators, and practitioners who are shaping how teams around the world think about observability, reliability, and performance. We’re excited to see how this year’s Ambassadors will continue to inspire others in the year ahead.
