Can Datadog be self-hosted?

What does Datadog integrate with?
We have confirmed 7 integrations for Datadog, including Google Vertex AI, Google Cloud Security Command Center, Google Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Run, Dataflow, OpenTelemetry and OpenLineage. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

What security certifications does Datadog have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for Datadog. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Datadog not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Datadog, not the verdict.
