About Datadog, Inc.
About Datadog, Inc.
Datadog generated $3,427.2 million in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up from $2,684.3 million in 2024, serving approximately 32,700 customers across more than 160 countries. The platform monitors trillions of events per hour across millions of servers and containers and connects more than 1,000 out-of-the-box integrations. Datadog employs a land-and-expand model where customers typically begin with a single product and expand usage on a self-service basis as workloads grow.
Datadog charges subscription fees tied primarily to monitored host counts, log volumes, and other consumption metrics, with contract terms primarily monthly or annual and some multi-year arrangements. Products span infrastructure monitoring, APM, log management, digital experience monitoring, cloud security (including SIEM, cloud posture management, and workload protection), and service management — each sold individually or as part of an integrated suite. The four sales channels — enterprise, high-velocity inside sales, customer success, and partner/reseller — cover the Americas, APAC, and EMEA regions. No single customer exceeded 10% of revenue, though the AI-native cohort, which includes Datadog's largest customer, contributed approximately seven percentage points to year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company expects revenue growth rates to moderate as the business matures while continuing to expand sales headcount and invest in platform development.

Datadog's multi-tenant cloud architecture collects and cross-correlates data across all customer deployments, enabling machine-learning anomaly detection that the 10-K describes as 'High Accuracy Machine-Learning Capabilities and Predictive Capabilities Powered by the Network Effect.' In April 2025, an unauthorized third party accessed multiple Datadog source code repositories via compromised employee credentials; the company revoked the access but acknowledged the breach could enable future exploitation of platform vulnerabilities. Certain customers subject to the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act have begun requiring specific risk management, transparency, and continuity provisions in contracts, which may expand compliance costs if additional jurisdictions adopt similar frameworks.
