The Datadog company has been deeply involved with open source software since its inception, producing and contributing to various projects. They have an "upstream-first" approach, working closely with original developers to bring about changes and improvements to open source projects that support their infrastructure. To further facilitate collaboration and community involvement, Datadog is announcing the launch of the Datadog Open Source Hub, a central space for learning about maintained projects, participating in ecosystems, and discovering related initiatives. The hub will showcase open source projects started at Datadog, provide opportunities for contributors to learn from maintainers and other contributors, and highlight projects that have been using Datadog's observability tools to their advantage.
