Datadog's Software Catalog centralizes knowledge about services' ownership, reliability, performance, costs, and security. By automatically importing Backstage YAML, Datadog lets teams manage all services in a single platform, viewing service data alongside observability data from applications and infrastructure. The integration populates the Software Catalog with Backstage YAML, imports multiple service definitions at once, validates metadata by viewing schema version information, and enables teams to troubleshoot, investigate, and collaborate across all services. With support for Backstage YAML, Datadog automatically creates and maintains Software Catalog entries, making it easy to see which service definitions are based on the Backstage schema and identify opportunities to enrich them with additional metadata.
