Datadog for Startups: Build, Scale and Optimize from Day 1

Datadog provides the best and most complete observability stack so startups can build, fix, and scale without a full ops team.

Instead of buying and setting up 10+ different tools (opensource tools, smaller point solutions, etc.), get everything all in one place in Datadog. Just like all the companies you admire: Perplexity, Cursor (Anysphere), Replit, Hebbia, Cognition, Hex and more.

Problems Datadog solves for you

• Catch issues before customers do. Spot latency spikes, broken APIs, or inaccurate responses from your AI agents in real time before you lose your customers.
• Debug faster. Unified metrics, traces, and logs cut root-cause analysis time from hours to minutes.
• Ship reliably and fast. Full visibility on your app’s performance, errors, and metrics gives your confidence to ship fast.
• Quickly meet enterprise security and compliance needs. Automatically scan for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for compliance frameworks like SOC2, ISO, PCI, HIPAA to become certified and stay compliant.
• Avoid surprise cloud or AI lab bills. Single view across AWS/ GCP/ Azure / Open AI / Anthropic to understand and optimize your cloud spend.
• Observe and operate AI/LLM workflows. Monitor latency, errors, and performance of model-driven pipelines. Run offline evals, and annotate your production traces to constantly improve your agents and workflows.
