Datadog Data Observability Alternative Built for Data Teams
Datadog is excellent at infrastructure and application monitoring and now offers data observability as part of a broader bundle. Dataobservability is purpose-built for the data warehouse: dbt-native auto-monitors, column-level lineage, and the five pillars, sold self-serve at a transparent price rather than inside a platform bundle.
