# Datadog

> Enterprise APM, logs, metrics, alerting in one platform.

[Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com) is the enterprise-grade observability platform — APM, logs, metrics, RUM, security monitoring all in one.

<Note>
  Full walkthrough being written.
</Note>

## When to pick

* Your org already runs on Datadog.
* You need broad observability beyond just errors.
* You need integration with PagerDuty, Slack, etc.

## Setup

`DD_API_KEY` and `DD_APP_KEY` in vly secrets. Use `dd-trace` for backend instrumentation.
