Not long ago, fears that artificial intelligence (AI) agents could turn the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model on its head sent investors scrambling for the nearest exit. The selloff swept through the sector like a storm and Datadogb (DDOG) got caught in the crossfire despite posting strong results and maintaining a healthy growth outlook.

After all, every new AI application, model, and deployment creates another layer of complexity that businesses need to monitor. That reality plays directly into Datadog’s wheelhouse.
