Datadog: Real observability, no blind spots

Observability is not just about monitoring. It’s understanding what’s going on in your business, in real time.

With Datadog and AWS, we turn scattered data into clear decisions in cloud, hybrid, on-permise environments.
At BigCheese, we added Datadog to our partner ecosystem to take observability to another level.
We designed and implemented a unified platform that connects metrics, logs and traces, allowing you to operate with visibility, control and resilience from day one.

It’s not about seeing more data. It’s about better understanding.

Think big. Observe better.
The difference between reacting and anticipating lies in visibility.

Observe smart

In an environment where everything is constantly changing, it is not enough to react.
With BigCheese, observability becomes a strategic advantage: you anticipate problems, align teams and make decisions with real context.

Let’s talk

01

Observability Assessment

We assess your current level of observability: tools, coverage, gaps and opportunities.

We include traceability review, audit and compliance needs for regulated environments.

We defined a clear roadmap to evolve towards a unified platform aligned to the business.

02

Datadog Implementation

We implement Datadog in a structured way, integrating metrics, logs, traces and events in one place.

We leverage its native integrations with more than 70 AWS services (such as Lambda, RDS or ECS) to achieve full visibility from the start, with agile and frictionless deployment.

03

Dashboards & Visibility

We design actionable dashboards by role:

Technical equipment
Product
Business

No more loose data: information that really helps you decide.

04

Alerting, Security & Resilience

We set up intelligent alerts that reduce noise and prioritize what is important.

We integrate security monitoring and anomaly detection so that you have visibility not only of what is going wrong, but also of what represents a risk.

We design more resilient systems, with the capacity to anticipate incidents and minimize their impact.

05

Cost & Performance Optimization

We correlate performance with costs so you can understand exactly what is driving costs in your infrastructure.

We design ingestion and retention strategies in Datadog to avoid unnecessary cost overruns.

We optimize your environment to achieve a more efficient operation, without losing visibility.

06

Continuous Improvement

Observability is not a one-time project.

We accompany the evolution with continuous optimization, new use cases and constant improvement.

Make it work for real

Why BigCheese

Implementing Datadog is easy. Making it generate real value, not so much.

Observability aligned to the business

We don’t monitor for the sake of monitoring. We design observability strategies that connect directly to your business objectives and real KPIs.

SLIs and SLOs that really matter

We define service level indicators and objectives based on the end-user experience, not on vanity metrics that no one looks at.

Cost control from day one

You avoid surprises in the bill. We plan the intake, sampling and retention so that you pay only for what you need.

Unification of tools and equipment

We break down silos. We consolidate visibility on a single platform so that Dev, Ops and Business speak the same language.

Best practices based on actual experience

We don’t improvise. We apply patterns proven in real implementations, adapted to your stack and your operational maturity.

Results, not tools

We don’t sell licenses. We build visibility that impacts availability, speed of response and business decisions.

Tell us about your challenges

01

Fintech – End-to-end traceability to reduce critical incidents

We implemented distributed tracing along the entire payment chain, correlating services, queues and external dependencies. Result: total visibility of the transactional flow and drastic reduction of MTTR in production.

02

E-commerce – Real-time checkout optimization

We instrument the purchase funnel to detect bottlenecks before they impact conversion. Live dashboards + proactive alerts that allow you to act in seconds, not hours.

03

Health – Centralization of logs in regulated environments

We designed a logging architecture that complies with audit and compliance regulations (HIPAA, sensitive data), without sacrificing search speed and operational visibility. Everything traceable, everything auditable.

04

Logistics – Correlation between performance and costs in AWS

We cross-reference infrastructure metrics with billing data to identify where we are overspending and where we can optimize without affecting performance. Observability that also takes care of the budget.

05

SaaS – APM and intelligent alerts to scale without friction

We implemented Application Performance Monitoring with anomaly-based alerts and SLOs, allowing the team to scale the platform with confidence and without relying on reactive war rooms.
