DRUIDS, the Design System that Powers Datadog

What's this blog post about?

In 2018, Datadog started building a design system called DRUIDS (Datadog Reusable User Interface Design System) to ensure consistency and efficiency across its expanding suite of products. The design system is not open source but the documentation site has been made public at druids.datadoghq.com. It aims to make workflows simple, powerful, and flexible for users while being easy to understand, implement, and contribute back to. Key features include a quick nav pattern, DRUIDS Loupe, links to source code, editable playgrounds, auto-generated API tables, and contribution guidelines. The design system is expected to evolve as the needs of Datadog and its customers change.
