How Retailers Can Reduce IT Costs with Observability

Five ways to optimize spend and drive operational efficiencies without sacrificing the customer experience

In an increasingly challenging retail landscape and amidst a global economic slowdown, engineering teams face increased pressure to reduce IT costs and protect margins. Now more than ever, driving efficiencies across all retail operations is key to success, yet engineers often don’t have the visibility into their tech stack and operations to identify areas of wasted spend, and where they do, are not sure what the downstream effects will be on customer-facing applications.

Insights gained through monitoring and observability empower businesses to scale sustainably and work efficiently to deliver outsized impact, while reducing costs and minimizing disruptions to performance and productivity.

In this eBook, informed by Datadog B2C customers’ experience across Retail, Media, and Gaming, we’ll dive into five ways IT leaders can use their monitoring and observability solutions to reduce, control, and optimize costs:
