Datadog, publicly owned and headquartered in the United States, was founded in 2010 and employs approximately 5,940 individuals. The company reported $3.4B in revenue as of 2025. Functioning primarily in software development, it specializes as an observability and security platform for cloud-scale applications. The platform provides monitoring services for developers, IT operations teams, and security engineers. It integrates metrics, traces, and logs from across the entire technology stack to offer end-to-end visibility into the health and performance of infrastructure, applications, and databases. Key services include Infrastructure Monitoring for real-time insights into servers and containers, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) for optimizing code-level execution, and Log Management for rapid troubleshooting and analysis. Additionally, Datadog offers specialized solutions for Cloud Security, Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)—including real-user and synthetic monitoring—and AI-powered observability tools like Bits AI and Watchdog, designed to automate anomaly detection and incident response. By consolidating these disparate data streams into a single unified dashboard with over 700 integrations, Datadog enables organizations to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and maintain the reliability of their complex, hybrid-cloud environments.
On July 10, 2026, Datadog Security Research uncovered multiple coordinated campaigns abusing the GitHub API to systematically map organizations' repositories and user accounts. While much of this activity focused on collecting publicly available information, researchers also observed limited cases where attackers gained access to private repositories after exploiting compromised GitHub access tokens. Earlier on the same day, Datadog engineer Arnold Wakim detailed the company's use of AI tools like Claude and Cursor for a test-driven production migration, enabling a critical production system to overcome storage backend limits and significantly improve performance. Previously, on July 9, 2026, Datadog achieved IRAP protected status in Australia, which Australian consultancy Mantel considers a crucial technology partnership for securing data in the public sector. Also on July 9, Datadog gained attention due to "rating momentum" as cloud demand and AI observability strengthened its software growth story.
