Datadog Costs - Grouped by Service
Overview
CloudZero helps engineering teams build cost-effective software. Use its platform to allocate 100% of your cloud, PaaS, and SaaS cost-regardless of tagging quality-and present it in a single unified view. Combine hourly cost data with business- and system-level telemetry to put cloud data in a business context through precise unit cost metrics like cost per customer, per product, per feature, per team, and more. CloudZero’s AI-powered anomaly detection alerts engineers to abnormal spend events by pointing them directly to the affected infrastructure, and promotes engineering engagement in cloud cost management.
Benefits
Once connected, the CloudZero platform regularly ingests your Datadog billing information for both committed and on-demand costs across all Datadog products. CloudZero unifies this data with the rest of your cloud costs, giving you a comprehensive assessment of your total cloud investment. The platform then puts all of your cloud spend through numerous analytics features, revealing opportunities for efficiency and letting you craft and send custom reports.
