Modern applications are constantly in flux, cycling through ephemeral cloud and container infrastructure as they scale up and down in response to demand. As these systems become more complex and dynamic, operational tasks consume an increasing share of engineering time. Datadog provides built-in machine learning to simplify the complexity of managing and monitoring quickly growing environments. Machine learning enables engineering teams to cover more ground, so they can scale up their systems without requiring a proportional increase in headcount. With anomaly detection, forecasting, outlier detection, and automatic metric correlation, engineers can rely on machine learning to intelligently monitor larger numbers of objects, cut through the noise to provide clear visibility, and enable continual awareness of increasingly complex systems.
Watchdog is giving us faster incident response. It’s showing us where the problems are in our system that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. And it’s showing us where other impacts are throughout the system… it’s allowing us to essentially deliver a better level of service to our customers.
