Summary

Self-Service Actions in Datadog Software Catalog enable developers to act independently while ensuring alignment with organizational standards for security, compliance, and reliability. This allows platform teams to create standardized templates through the App Builder, reducing wait times for approvals and manual, repetitive tasks that could be automated. With Self-Service Actions, developers can easily provision cloud infrastructure, manage infrastructure with increased efficiency and security, accelerate remediation and incident resolution, scaffold new services with embedded best practices, and extend and customize existing tooling. These actions reduce misconfigurations, inconsistencies, and security gaps by providing a single platform for developers to access tools and functionality directly within Datadog.
