While I am no tech expert, from this chain of announcements coming from DDOG I see a continued focus on product efficiency. These announcements have the general theme of allowing the user to identify issues earlier and quicker which puts time back in their pocket, while further integrating DDOG into their workflow.
I believe that DDOG has entered a new stage of acceleration in revenue and that with these new products and further customer integration/dependence, we will continue to see revenue growth rather than contraction.
DDOG is my third highest conviction position at ~15%
