What's this blog post about?

Datadog, a company that provides monitoring and analytics for cloud-based applications, has been actively contributing to the fight against COVID-19. Employees have donated time and resources to organizations like CovidNearYou and Folding@home, while also sponsoring hackathons dedicated to tracking the virus's spread and researching new treatments. Datadog has also empowered individual employees to support their communities in various ways. In addition, some Datadog employees have built public dashboards using official COVID-19 data sources to help organize and parse information. These efforts aim to provide a more realistic picture of the virus's spread and assist scientists in developing new treatments, including research into COVID-19. Datadog is also encouraging others to get involved by sharing information about organizations that could use support in fighting the pandemic. They have set up an email address ([email protected]) for people to suggest organizations they believe need assistance.
