Manage API performance, security, and ownership with Datadog API Catalog

What's this blog post about?

Datadog has introduced its API Catalog, a unified inventory of all APIs and their endpoints that leverages the company's distributed tracing capabilities. The tool aims to help manage and secure modern applications made up of thousands of loosely connected private and publicly exposed APIs. It provides complete transparency into an organization's API landscape, allowing teams to monitor endpoint performance and security, efficiently document and manage their APIs, and more. Datadog API Catalog helps solve challenges related to managing API sprawl by offering a centralized location for visualizing how each of the managed and unmanaged API endpoints are connected, finding orphaned and legacy APIs in production that lack proper documentation, understanding which API endpoints are seeing traffic across all services and environments, and quickly identifying poorly performing endpoints.
