Software Catalog

Software Catalog enables us to improve software discoverability, democratize knowledge across all engineers, quickly find the right people and information when it matters the most, and better measure our effectiveness as an organization across all teams and services.

Datadog's Software Catalog gives us a clear picture of the operational health of over 1,000 microservices and their different telemetry configurations. These capabilities greatly improve the observability of our software resources and provide a single spot for our internal customers to learn how their services behave.
