What is Datadog?

Datadog is an observability platform that supports every phase of software development on any stack. The platform consists of many products that help you build, test, monitor, debug, optimize, and secure your software. These products can be used individually or combined into a customized solution.

The table below lists a few examples of Datadog products:

Category	Product examples
Development	Highlight code vulnerabilities in your text editor or on GitHub with Code Analysis. Facilitate a remote pair-programming session with CoScreen.
Testing	Block faulty code from deploying to production with Quality Gates. Simulate users around the globe to test your web app, API, or mobile application with Synthetic Monitoring.
Monitoring	Ingest logs, metrics, events, and network traces with granular control over processing, aggregation, and alerting. Assess host performance with Continuous Profiler. Assess application performance with Application Performance Monitoring.
Troubleshooting	Manage errors and incidents, summarizing issues and suggesting fixes. Measure user churn and detect user frustration with Real User Monitoring.
Security	Detect threats and attacks with Datadog Security.

Additionally, hundreds of integrations allow you to layer Datadog features over the technologies you already use. For example, the AWS integration collects logs, events, and metrics from more than 90 AWS services.
