Summary

Datadog was first started working on in late 2010 due to the expected significant changes in IT infrastructure by 2020, driven by Agile processes and cloud infrastructure. The company's founders believed that a new kind of monitoring and analytics platform would be needed to address this change. Since its launch, Datadog has seen its thesis validated as companies of all sizes have adopted cloud-based solutions, leading to an explosive growth in the number of infrastructure units, frequency of code changes, number of engineers interacting with the infrastructure, and diversity of platforms and tools used. As a result, the magnitude of the monitoring problem has drastically changed, and Datadog was built to scale across these dimensions, predicting 2016 to be a banner year for cloud adoption and the era of Monitoring at Scale.
