As businesses scale, observability becomes a mission-critical priority, but managing an ever-growing Datadog environment can be complex and costly. That’s where RapDev’s Managed Datadog comes in—a fully hands-on, expert-driven solution designed to optimize your Datadog usage and investment while reducing operational overhead. 

Why Managed Datadog?

Datadog is a powerful observability platform, but without proper governance, it can quickly become cluttered with outdated dashboards and monitors, unexpected excessive costs, and security vulnerabilities. RapDev’s Managed Datadog takes care of all of that, allowing your teams to focus on delivering business value rather than troubleshooting configurations.

Key Benefits

• Cost Optimization: Our proprietary analytics continuously analyze your logs, APM, and overall Datadog usage to identify potential cost savings. By pinpointing inefficiencies and optimizing resource allocation, we ensure you get the most value from your Datadog contract. Customers typically recover the cost of their Managed Datadog contract within the first three months through these strategic savings.

• Noise Reduction & Hygiene: We actively manage dashboards, monitors, and alerts to minimize alert fatigue, keeping only the most actionable insights and removing the noise. 
• Scalability & Best Practices: With experience managing over 1,000+ environments, we ensure your Datadog adoption scales efficiently, following industry best practices and RapDev expertise. 

• Security & Compliance: Outdated agents, unscoped API keys, and public dashboards are security risks. We proactively identify and remediate these issues to maintain a secure environment.

Proactive Management and Support

RapDev provides comprehensive Datadog governance, including weekly usage tracking reports, stale dashboard cleanups, and real-time cost anomaly detection. Our team offers monthly platform reviews, customized dashboards, and a dedicated support portal with a 4-hour response time, ensuring that your Datadog environment remains efficient and cost-effective.

Customer Success Story: Reducing Log Indexing Costs While Scaling Adoption

One of our customers was struggling with excessive log indexing costs while also needing to onboard new services into Datadog. By leveraging our proprietary analytics, we identified key areas where log volumes could be optimized without sacrificing observability. At the same time, we implemented a self-service request portal, streamlining the onboarding process for new services.

As a result, we successfully reduced their yearly log indexing costs by 30%, while enabling more teams to leverage Datadog’s full potential. This approach not only helped them control costs but also expanded their observability capabilities, ensuring they maximize their Datadog investment.
