# Datadog

A cloud monitoring and security platform selling observability, security, digital experience, and AI monitoring tools to platform engineers and developers.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → shaper to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Datadog is the incumbent observability platform that the anchor (Vercel) and its buyers build on or integrate with, and the category standard against which other monitoring tools are positioned.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Cloud Monitoring as a Service | Datadog

> The integrated platform for monitoring & security

> End-to-end, simplified visibility into your stack’s health & performance
