Investment Thesis: Datadog

The digital landscape has transformed with cloud computing, enabling agility and innovation but introducing complexity. Modern IT environments feature microservices, Kubernetes-orchestrated containers, serverless functions, and AI/ML pipelines, generating vast data across distributed systems.
