Datadog Implementation: the datadog problem we actually solve
The failure we see most with Datadog Implementation: the work looks like monitoring, but nobody has defined what a finished deliverable actually looks like for this kind of engagement. APM, infra, logs and monitors — agents, dashboards and alert hygiene for production apps. Without that, monitoring work under a generic observability retainer tends to expand without a measurable finish line.
