Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) has launched its Internal Developer Portal (IDP), the first developer portal built on live observability data. The IDP helps engineering teams ship code faster while maintaining reliability, security, and compliance standards. Key features include a Software Catalog providing real-time system records, Self-Service Actions with pre-approved templates, Scorecards for tracking compliance, and Engineering Reports for visibility into performance metrics. The platform automatically maps services and dependencies, integrating with Datadog's APM suite to provide real-time performance monitoring and service ownership information. Companies like Apixio, Nexthink, and Zilch are already using Datadog IDP. The tool aims to reduce dependency on platform engineers and accelerate incident response through a centralized engineering knowledge base.
