Overview
Datadog, Inc. is a software-as-a-service company in the cloud observability and security sector. Its platform helps organizations monitor and secure cloud applications by bringing together data from infrastructure, applications, logs, user experience, and security systems. The company’s stated purpose is to help development, IT, security, and business teams collaborate and improve application performance, addressing the limits of siloed teams and legacy monitoring tools.[1][2][3][4]
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City, Datadog has offices across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.[1][5] At December 31, 2025, it had approximately 8,100 employees across 35 countries; revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.427 billion.[6][7] [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][5]
Products & services
Datadog’s software platform includes products for monitoring infrastructure across public and private cloud, hybrid, container, and serverless environments; tracing application performance across distributed services; and ingesting, querying, visualizing, and alerting on logs. Its APM provides code-level distributed tracing, while Logging Without Limits separates log ingestion from processing and Flex Logs offers separate storage, querying, and retention options.[8][9][3] Observability Pipelines collects, transforms, and routes telemetry; Synthetics simulates user and API requests; Real User Monitoring (RUM) analyzes web and mobile user experience; and Continuous Profiler identifies resource-intensive or slow code. Other data-focused products include Database Monitoring, which surfaces query metrics and plans and correlates query, host, and application data; Data Streams and Data Jobs Monitoring; Network Monitoring; Error Tracking; and LLM Observability, which traces LLM activity and exposes inputs, outputs, errors, token use, and latency.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
The portfolio also includes CI Visibility for pipeline, build, job, and test performance; Incident Response, Workflow Automation, App Builder, and Event Management for operational response and workflows; and Bits AI SRE, which uses Datadog data to investigate troubleshooting and potential root causes. Security and cost products include Cloud Cost Management; agentless Cloud Security scanning for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity risks, and compliance issues; Code Security; Cloud SIEM for real-time security-log analysis; Workload Protection and App & API Protection; and Sensitive Data Scanner for discovering and classifying sensitive data. Datadog also offers a Marketplace for partner-built products.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]
Datadog reports substantially all of its revenue as coming from subscription software sales, but the cited disclosures do not provide revenue or performance percentages by individual product.[7] [8][9][3][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][7]
Geographic presence
In FY2025, approximately 29% of Datadog’s revenue came from outside North America. Revenue geography is reported using customers’ billing addresses; the disclosed regional categories are North America and International, rather than individual countries.[31] As of December 31, 2025, approximately 44% of full-time employees were outside the United States; France accounted for 34% of that outside-U.S. group.[32]
The company identified offices in Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, and Seoul, with its principal executive office in New York City.[33][34] It also named Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Paris, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo as international sales locations.[32] [31][32][33][34]
Business segments
Datadog reports one operating and reportable segment: its cloud observability and security platform. The company’s chief operating decision maker reviews consolidated results to assess performance and allocate resources, rather than evaluating separately reported business segments.[35]
That single segment represents 100% of reported company revenue; Datadog reported FY2025 revenue of $3,427.2 million and did not allocate it among products.[35][7] The platform spans infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, logs and other observability tools, as well as cloud and application security products. These are product areas, not separately reported segments, and no product-level revenue percentages are disclosed.[30][8][9][3][25][27][28][29] [35][7][30][8][9][3][25][27][28][29]
Company history
Datadog was founded in 2010 by Olivier Pomel and Alexis Lê-Quôc to integrate data across development and operations teams. It launched its infrastructure-monitoring product in 2012, followed by application performance monitoring in 2017 and log management in 2018. In 2019, it added user-experience and network-performance monitoring and announced security monitoring, broadening its monitoring platform.[36][37]
Datadog went public in September 2019, pricing its initial public offering at $27 per share and listing on Nasdaq under the ticker DDOG.[38][39] The company expanded through acquisitions, including application-security company Sqreen in 2021 and collaboration tool CoScreen in 2022.[40][41] In May 2025, it announced the acquisition of Eppo, an experimentation and feature-management platform.[42] [36][37][38][39][40][41][42]
