How it works

Optimize costs, ensure consistent telemetry, and save engineering hours to dedicate back to your business

Cost

Increase your cost predictability

We monitor your usage patterns of your custom metrics, APM, and log usage, and general costs to see when there are anomalous spikes or new patterns that are not expected, and we will handle remediation actions with your approval. 

Managed Datadog
Hygiene

Improve & maintain hygiene & best practices

We monitor the health and status of all your monitors and dashboards to determine staleness and muted/no notification misconfigurations, and we work with you to ensure that your tag standards are being followed and updated as new use cases arise. 

Managed Datadog
Security

Meet all your security requirements

We audit your Agent versions, identify which versions have security vulnerabilities, and update them for you. Through organic usage we monitor App keys with no scope and API keys associated with users no longer with the company; documenting these and removing them if necessary.

Managed Datadog
Scale

Increase Datadog adoption

We dedicate time to weekly office hours with your engineering teams and a monthly review with stakeholders to discuss your usage patterns, review open requests, and answer questions. We also offer a set number of monitor, dashboard, and log pipeline creation requests available that you can leverage our team for.

Major Incident Management

Ensure uninterrupted uptimes with self-healing workflows

Leverage AI to enable automated remediation workflows for critical issues and incidents. By using ACC to send output data to the ServiceNow instance via the MID Server and store events and metrics in the relevant database, organizations can reduce their MeanTime to Recovery (MTTR) by:

  • Auto-remediating alerts within minutes of their generation
  • Preventing over-allocation of resources by setting defined limits and thresholds
  • Minimizing human intervention and toil by automating the alert remediation process
Managed Datadog
ChatOps

Streamline incident management with ChatOps

ChatOps integrates incident management into communication platforms like Slack, MS Teams, and ServiceNow Operator Workspace, allowing for seamless handling of critical issues. 

RapDev’s engineers specialize in automation to improve the developer experience. Embedding incident management within chat platforms through dynamic notifications enables real-time troubleshooting, continuous updates and easy internal communications during outages or MIM.

Managed Datadog
Gen AI

Bridge critical operational gaps with GenAI

Leverage GenAI with Modern ServiceOps to enhance incident management and troubleshooting.

  • Build Private GPT Instance: Develop and deploy a private GPT instance tailored to your organization's needs.
  • Automate Root Cause Analysis: Incorporate GenAI within your existing Major Incident Management (MIM) process to automate root cause determination and analysis, improving the speed and accuracy of identifying issues.
  • Instant Incident Summaries: Utilize GenAI to instantly generate summarized details of incoming incidents.
  • Automated Responses: Send responses from GenAI to the ChatOps engine, including incident summaries and tailored troubleshooting ideas for specific outages.
