Spotlight on Datadog: Moving From 'Seeing' Problems to 'Fixing' Them

Did you know that 14 of the top 20 AI-native companies—the ones building the future of intelligence—run their production stacks on Datadog? In this episode, we explore how Datadog has evolved from a simple infrastructure monitoring tool into a unified "operating system" for the cloud, where 18% of customers now rely on 8 or more distinct products to keep their digital businesses running.

We break down the company's massive strategic pivot toward "AI Actionability," a future where their "Bits AI" agents don't just alert humans to fires but actively extinguish them. You’ll learn how they are integrating the "Model Context Protocol" (MCP) to bridge AI agents with real-time production data and why CEO Olivier Pomel believes the rise of coding assistants will create more complexity—and therefore more need for observability—not less.
