When observability systems become unavailable due to a cloud provider outage, teams lose the real-time view of production systems they rely on to respond to incidents and continue deployments. Failures in shared dependencies, such as managed databases, identity systems, or object stores, can cascade across other services and regions, increasing downtime and user impact.
With Datadog Disaster Recovery (DDR), teams can maintain observability during widespread infrastructure disruptions. Now generally available, DDR lets you configure a secondary Datadog site ahead of time, replicate Datadog resources, and fail over telemetry data when your primary site is impacted.
