In modern cloud environments, observability is crucial for SRE and DevOps teams to maintain insight into the real-time state of their systems, especially during outages or disruptions. Datadog has addressed this challenge by introducing Datadog Disaster Recovery (DDR), an active-passive observability solution that allows organizations to maintain visibility and telemetry data continuity by failing over to an alternate Datadog site when their primary site is affected. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to the active-active model, which, while highly resilient, is expensive and operationally complex. DDR enables users to pre-configure their systems to redirect telemetry data to a secondary site, ensuring observability without the need for a costly and complex active-active setup. During a failure, customers can trigger a failover to a pre-established secondary site using Datadog's automation capabilities, ensuring continuous observation of their systems. This solution not only helps in maintaining observability continuity during outages but also aligns with regulatory compliance goals, allowing organizations to manage distributed services effectively without losing visibility.
