Ship internal applications from your AI Agent with Datadog Apps
Blog post from Datadog
AI coding agents have significantly expedited the development of internal tools, particularly operational apps designed to support software release, troubleshooting, and maintenance processes. Datadog Apps offers a streamlined, code-first approach for building these applications directly within the Datadog ecosystem, allowing teams to create, deploy, and manage apps using familiar technologies like Vite and React, without needing to learn new frameworks. This integration ensures that apps benefit from existing authentication, access controls, observability, and connections, embedding seamlessly into Datadog's dashboards, notebooks, and other features. The platform also simplifies app connectivity through the Actions platform, facilitating access to external systems while maintaining consistent authentication and governance models. By inheriting Datadog's governance and observability capabilities, applications can be securely monitored and audited, with all user activity integrated into Datadog's Audit Trail. Additionally, Datadog Apps provides prebuilt components that align with its design systems, ensuring native integration and reducing context switching by embedding operational applications within the workflows they impact.
