The Datadog platform has evolved to meet the needs of organizations investing in cloud-based solutions and modernizations. To demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of observability best practices, Datadog offers a new Certification Program that validates practical comprehension of its key products and technologies. The program features three separate exams - Datadog Fundamentals, Log Management Fundamentals, and APM and Distributed Tracing Fundamentals - each focusing on a different aspect of the platform to gauge user competency. Successful completion of these exams can be achieved through in-person or remote testing, with test preparation materials available for candidates. The program is designed to help users reinforce their knowledge, gain credibility among recruiters or employers, and level up their monitoring skills.
