DevOps, SRE and infrastructure teams in tech-driven organizations requiring a tool to diagnose issues faster and safeguard reliability
About Updog
Updog.ai is a free, public-facing service created by Datadog that offers real-time health and outage monitoring of major SaaS providers (30+ services such as OpenAI, GitHub, Zoom, Slack) and 13 AWS services. Instead of relying on vendors’ status pages, Updog.ai leverages aggregated, anonymized telemetry data from thousands of customer environments, applies an AI-powered Bayesian model to detect performance degradations, and immediately surfaces alerts when patterns indicate systemic issues, sometimes even before official vendor notifications. The dashboard provides up to 90 days of degradation history so users can identify recurring third-party reliability risks and take proactive architectural or operational measures. Built as an independent signal source, Updog.ai helps engineering and SRE teams determine whether an issue is internal or external, enabling faster response, improved transparency to stakeholders, and reduced incident impact across the stack.
