Organizations in regulated industries face challenges in meeting stringent data residency, privacy, and regulatory requirements while maintaining system visibility; this is particularly true when logs need to remain in specific regions or environments. To address these issues without sacrificing observability or requiring multiple logging tools, Datadog has announced its integration with Quickwit, an open source, cloud-native search engine designed for efficient log management. Quickwit enables organizations to deploy and manage logs in their own environments, supporting both cloud and on-premise data centers. This integration aims to enhance Datadog's real-time observability capabilities, offering seamless monitoring and optimization, while Quickwit will continue to support the open source community with an upcoming major update under the Apache License 2.
