Datadog integration

What is Datadog?

Datadog is a cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform that helps organizations gain insights into the performance and health of their applications and infrastructure, catering to the needs of security teams regardless of the tech stack they employ.

By integrating Datadog with Buddy, you can take advantage of workflow automation to monitor your CI/CD pipelines and identify security threats, which allows you to react quickly in case of any issues.

Once the integration is added, you can expand your pipeline by adding the Datadog Service Check action. The action lets you create custom checks to monitor specific aspects of your application in an intuitive way.
