Google’s sidecar solution allows you to add Datadog as an integration completely through the GCP user interface, reducing the need to instrument your code directly. This allows you to focus on core application development with lower deployment overhead and maintenance burden. This new functionality allows developers to run the Datadog integration alongside the main application container, offering 1-step instrumentation of your workloads and immediate access to Datadog’s suite of observability solutions.
To qualify for this Product Preview, you must currently be using Google Cloud Run containers.
We will be in contact shortly to help you get started with the Google Cloud Run sidecar and review any feedback you may have. In the meantime, feel free to contact your CSM with any questions.
Help make the next releases of Datadog products our best yet.
