As infrastructure and applications scale, managing observability data becomes increasingly complex. Datadog's managed Log Pipelines and Observability Pipelines offer flexibility in log management, allowing users to experiment with new vendor solutions without disrupting production workflows. Managed Log Pipelines are fully managed and can be customized for data ingestion, processing, and routing, while Observability Pipelines provide granular control over observability data and meet data residency and compliance requirements. Both pipelines enable dual shipping of logs to multiple destinations, providing flexibility and control in long-term log management.
