Datadog uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 30 minutes. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 24 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Datadog does
Datadog is a cloud monitoring and analytics platform that provides full-stack observability for infrastructure, applications, and logs. It collects metrics, traces, and logs from servers, databases, containers, and cloud services, presenting them in unified dashboards. Datadog is used by enterprise engineering teams to monitor complex distributed systems.
What an outage looks like
During a Datadog outage, monitoring dashboards become inaccessible or show stale data. Alert monitors fail to evaluate, meaning critical infrastructure issues may go unnoticed. The Datadog Agent continues collecting metrics locally, but data ingestion into Datadog's platform stops. APM traces and log forwarding also fail.
What to do about it
Check status.datadoghq.com for current incidents. The Datadog Agent running on your servers continues to buffer metrics locally during outages. Once service is restored, buffered data is forwarded and backfilled in your dashboards. Ensure you have backup alerting via a separate tool for critical monitors.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request Datadog's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — 18 of them answered the most recent check.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Datadog publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
