Confluent Cloud and Datadog have integrated to provide a seamless connection between the two cloud-native, managed services. This integration enables users to monitor key metrics from their clusters within minutes without any additional configuration required. The integration also allows for visualizing and alerting on important metrics in real-time. Users can now create a service account, add an API key, and specify which Confluent Cloud resources they want to monitor through Datadog's dashboard. This collaboration between Confluent and Datadog aims to provide full visibility into the users' Confluent Cloud environment and improve overall data management efficiency.
