Datadog Inc.’s software suffered an outage just past midnight on Wednesday, and the company was still attempting to correct the issues 12 hours later as its shares declined.
Datadog DDOG first notified customers that engineers were investigating issues with its web application at 1:31 a.m. Eastern time, and the company has continued to provide updates on its status blog. Four successive updates between 9:49 a.m. and 12:29 p.m. Eastern time used the same language: “We continue progress towards recovering all services. Data ingestion and monitor notifications remain delayed across all data types.
“Error Tracking and Security Monitoring went from Partial Outage to Major Outage, while Events and Web Application went from Degraded Performance to Partial Outage,” the analysts wrote. “It does not appear Datadog is making progress bringing the service back up yet.” In-depth: Should more services charge like a power bill than a Netflix subscription? That’s where software is headed.
2 % plus at the time now...so what?
