Summary

When Google Cloud Run abstracts away infrastructure management and runs on complex backends, it can be difficult to troubleshoot. Datadog's integrations with Google Cloud and Google Cloud Run address this challenge by collecting and visualizing key metrics and logs. The Datadog Agent sidecar enables you to instrument your application and set up monitoring directly from the Cloud Run UI, removing the need for code changes. With the sidecar, you can collect custom metrics, traces, and logs in real-time, providing a seamless, centralized monitoring experience. By setting up the sidecar directly in Google Cloud, you can simplify integration, reduce setup time, and avoid configuration risks. The Datadog Serverless view allows you to visualize your Cloud Run telemetry, investigate issues, and identify bottlenecks within a single view.
