Organizations managing applications supported by numerous services across multiple environments face challenges in handling large volumes of telemetry data. This complexity exposes sensitive information and leads to vendor lock-in, poor data quality, and increased management costs. Datadog Observability Pipelines addresses these issues by providing flexibility and control over data. It helps improve data visibility by controlling the costs and volume of ingested data, decoupling data sources from their destinations, standardizing and improving data quality through organization-wide schemas, and redacting sensitive data to maintain compliance. Observability Pipelines also allows users to monitor each processing step directly on the Datadog platform for better insights into performance or bottlenecks.
