The text discusses the implementation of FinOps at Datadog to enhance cloud cost efficiency, emphasizing collaboration between FinOps and engineering teams. Initially, simple steps like eliminating unused resources offer quick savings, but managing costs becomes complicated with organizational growth and multi-cloud infrastructures. Datadog's approach involves building trustful partnerships based on reliable cost data, using custom dashboards to provide engineers with actionable insights for cost optimization. The company employs tools like Datadog Cloud Cost Management (CCM) for granular visibility and cost allocation, ensuring resources are appropriately tagged for precise cost attribution. The focus on unit economics aids in understanding the true cost of delivering business value, enabling teams to distinguish between beneficial growth and inefficiencies. Datadog's FinOps practice is supported by recommendations, analytics, and alerts that help prioritize and manage cost-saving efforts within Jira workflows. As part of an evolving FinOps journey, Datadog aims to integrate cost awareness into daily operations and contribute to the ongoing development of CCM by using real-world insights to refine the product.
