Datadog Ambassadors share their expertise through blog posts, conference talks, open source contributions, and community leadership, helping developers around the world understand observability, DevOps, security, and more. From leading community events to building custom integrations, our Ambassadors have been hard at work showcasing their Datadog chops.
Over the past year, our Ambassador community has continued to grow—not only in size, but also in impact. From publishing technical blog posts to giving conference talks and growing local communities, our Ambassadors have been at the forefront of thought leadership in the observability space.
Whether it’s community organizing or sharing real-world experiences on cloud migrations and platform engineering, our Ambassadors continue to produce thoughtful, hands-on content. Some standout contributions from this year include:
Several Ambassadors have taken on leadership roles within their local communities, scaling User Groups into thriving hubs of learning and collaboration. From meetups to workshops, they’re helping foster strong regional ecosystems that support ongoing learning and connection.
