Datadog: A Developer Friendly Monitoring and Analytics Product or Ecosystem?

QuantLayer Podcast

On this episode, we dig into Datadog’s (Ticker: DDOG) IPO prospectus. We discuss their approach to analytics and monitoring, and how companies can benefit from using them. We look at a few case studies of how companies derive value from their product, and one in particular, that can generate value from its use. We also run through their developer-friendly offering and how quickly the product can be incorporated into a system. We spend a little time with their financials and then discuss our view of thinking about them as a product versus an ecosystem.

• What Datadog is
• Anecdotes of personal use with Elixir
