Internal Developer Portal

As a remote company with teams across four continents, App Builder empowers our global workforce to take action. What was once a team-specific ticket can now be handled independently through self-service, eliminating the need for another tool and extra training.

Feature Overview

Datadog Internal Developer Portal (IDP) allows developers to move fast and ship confidently with pre-approved self-service actions and delivery guardrails. Remove friction from common production tasks, promote best practices across teams, and focus engineering efforts where it matters. Datadog IDP connects fragmented knowledge across teams to live observability data and keeps up with changes in your systems without manual effort.

Remove the friction of getting code to production

Let developers scaffold services, provision and manage infrastructure, and configure monitoring themselves through pre-defined self-service actions.
Create self-service actions using a library of pre-built blueprints designed for common stacks like Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitHub Actions.
Standardize software delivery by building golden paths that automatically weave in your org’s policies and best practices.

Centralize observability, ownership and engineering knowledge

Eliminate blind spots by automatically discovering and mapping services, APIs, datastores, IaC templates, AI models, and more.
Simplify collaboration and shorten incident response time by tying observability data and recent changes to owners, on-call coverage, documentation, runbooks, and repos.
Enrich your existing catalog by importing Github, Terraform and Backstage registries and connecting Datadog’s live telemetry and deployment metadata.

Promote engineering best practices at scale

Define your ideal state for service health, production readiness, or migrations, then track alignment automatically with Scorecards.
Detect and flag gaps in reliability, observability, and security with pass/fail rules tied to your engineering requirements.
Drive consistent adoption of standards like tagging, CI/CD health, and cost control with out-of-the-box scorecards.
Give every team a clear path to compliance with progress tracking at the team, service and application level.

Focus your engineering efforts on what will move the needle

Identify and address organization-wide performance trends across adherence to standards, DORA metrics, reliability status, and portal adoption - all in one place.
Reduce developer context switching with a personalized, centralized view of their services and deployments, surfacing relevant tasks, risks, and performance data.
Deliver the right updates to the right people - like Slack messages to service owners when scorecard status changes, or weekly digests showing team-specific DORA metrics.
