Formalize your organization's best practices with custom Scorecards in Datadog

The Datadog Service Catalog offers a centralized hub of information on service performance, reliability, security, efficiency, and ownership. Its feature, Service Scorecards, automatically grades services based on 10 out-of-the-box rules that fall under three categories: Production Readiness, Ownership and Documentation, and Observability Best Practices. However, many teams have unique service quality measurements not covered by these rules. Custom Scorecards allow users to create their own rules for services to be scored against and pass the outcomes of these rules to Datadog. This helps organizations track all their standards for services on one platform. Custom Scorecards can formalize adoption of internal tooling, streamline manual processes, and enhance service monitoring by ensuring adherence to organization-wide standards.
