How does it work? Is it platform agnostic? AWS, GCP, Azure?

I’m curious.

    It works with those providers, but isn't platform agnostic. They have to extend their services to work with new / different cloud providers. So let's say Meta suddenly unveils a SaaS suite. It wouldn't work with Datadog until the integrations were built.

    Also, it does a lot, but mainly it's intent is to connect disparate data systems into a unified view for telemetry first, and I think they offer lots of ability to affect those systems via datadog as well now. But I think originally it was all about unifying the telemetry

      Thanks @OP!

      --Off topic--

      I agree with you @OP, so I interviewed super hard and tripled my comp by leaving to Big Tech lol. I'm enjoying it way more than I expected, I was coasting before but now I'm actually learning / being challenged AND making way more.

    The best way is to try it out. There is a free 14 day trial.
