Datadog

Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG) stands as the global leader in cloud observability and security, providing a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that enables organizations to monitor, troubleshoot, and secure their entire technology stack in real-time. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City, Datadog has revolutionized how DevOps teams, site reliability engineers, and security professionals gain visibility into their cloud infrastructure and applications. The platform's unified approach to monitoring, observability, and security has made it indispensable for modern cloud-native organizations worldwide.

Datadog's platform integrates and automates infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM), log management, user experience monitoring, cloud security, database monitoring, network performance monitoring, and many other capabilities into a single, cohesive solution. This integration eliminates the traditional siloed approach to monitoring, where different teams used different tools for infrastructure, applications, and security. With support for over 750 integrations as of October 2024, Datadog can ingest data from virtually any technology in a customer's stack—from cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to containerization platforms like Kubernetes and Docker, to databases, programming languages, and custom applications.

The company went public on September 19, 2019, in a highly successful IPO that raised $648 million and valued the company at $8.7 billion. The stock surged approximately 37% on its first trading day, pushing market capitalization to nearly $10 billion. This validated Datadog's position as one of the most successful SaaS companies of 2019. The IPO came after the company rejected a $7 billion acquisition offer from Cisco, betting instead on its independent growth trajectory. In July 2025, Datadog achieved another major milestone when it was added to the S&P 500 Index, cementing its status among America's most valuable public companies.

Datadog's financial performance has been exceptional, demonstrating the strong demand for cloud observability solutions. In fiscal year 2024, the company reported revenue of $2.68 billion, representing 26% year-over-year growth. For the full year 2024, Datadog generated $871 million in operating cash flow and $775 million in free cash flow. In Q2 fiscal 2025, revenue reached $827 million, a 28% year-over-year increase, with approximately 3,850 customers generating over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR), up from about 3,390 the previous year. This strong customer expansion at the high end demonstrates Datadog's ability to land and expand within enterprise accounts.

With more than 5,200 employees across global offices in New York, Boston, Paris, Dublin, Denver, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Japan, Australia, and Singapore, Datadog continues to innovate rapidly. The company has delivered hundreds of new features and capabilities in 2024 alone, including a comprehensive suite of AI Observability and Security products, Bits AI Agents for SRE, Developers, and Security teams, the Datadog MCP Server, and TOTO, its proprietary time-series foundation model. Datadog was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms in 2025 for the fifth consecutive year, reinforcing its market-leading position as organizations worldwide embrace cloud computing, microservices architectures, and artificial intelligence.
